141. 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 The pleasures lost I sadly mourned, But never wept for Thee,
Till grace the sightless eyes received, Thy loveliness to see.
