O Christ, in Thee My Soul Hath Found

O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found, And found in Thee alone, The peace, the joy I sought so long, The bliss till now unknown

Now none but Christ can satisfy - None other name for me, There’s love and life and lasting joy, Lord Jesus, found in thee.

I sighed for rest and happiness, I yearned for them, not Thee, But, while I passed my saviour by, His love laid hold on me.

I tried the broken cisterns, Lord, But ah, the waters failed! E’en as I stooped to drink they fled, And mocked me as I wailed.

The pleasures lost I sadly mourned, But never wept for thee, Till grace the sightless eyes received - Thy loveliness to see.
