Verses:  1   2   3   4 

 

 1  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 Savior by,

       His love laid hold on me.

 

Now none but Christ can satisfy,

   None other name for me;

There's love and life and lasting joy,

   Lord Jesus, found in Thee.

 

 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.

 

Now none but Christ can satisfy,

   None other name for me;

There's love and life and lasting joy,

   Lord Jesus, found in Thee.

 

 4  The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,

       But never wept for Thee,

    Till grace the sightless eyes received,

       Thy loveliness to see.

 

Now none but Christ can satisfy,

   None other name for me;

There's love and life and lasting joy,

   Lord Jesus, found in Thee.
