I SOUGHT THE LORD, AND AFTERWARD I KNEW (TUNE 2)

Lyrics

Font size:
I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;

It was not I that found, O Saviour true,

No, I was found of thee.


Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;

I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea,“

'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,

As thou, dear Lord, on me.


I find, I walk, I love, but, O the whole

Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee;

For thou wert long beforehand with my soul,

Always thou lovedst me.
