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 Savior 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. |

What a glorious and encouraging hymn. We sang it a lot as young people at our youth fellowship at church and also sang it regularly at our morning services. True satisfaction is found in Christ alone! But we sometimes or is it often forget that don't we? And go off looking for satisfaction in Al the wrong places. Let's continually seek living water from Christ and him alone.

Lovely.
Remember singing heartily years ago.
Just listened to A Begg refer to this in a talk called food for the soul. Isn’t poetry based on our good God masterly.
Thank you for helping me find this on your website.

God is good and all that He has created is good even now just as it was at the beginning.

Wonderful hymn, just heard it referenced in Mary Peckham's testimony which is awesome. Look up 1949 revival testimony about 38 minutes long on YouTube.

This song has been always my prayer in my whole life. It will be till I see Christ face by face.

Although I know Christ is life and peace and all these things that I desire, yet often I still miss the mark because I'm yearning for these things apart from Christ. But none other than a PERSON can satisfy. Lord I want to seek You first - not as an antidote or solution to this and that situation, but even just to enjoy You and be satisfied by You.
