Now none but Christ can satisfy

O Christ in Thee my soul has found,
And found in Thee alone,
The peace, the joy I sought so long,
The bliss till now unknown.

Chorus:
Now none but Christ can satisfy;
Non other name for me, 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 Saviour 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 my sightless eyes received,
Thy loveliness to see.

Now none but Christ can satisfy;
Non other name for me, for me,
There’s love, and life, and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in Thee.
