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'd 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.
