None by Christ can satisfy

Lyrics: B. E. (Alt. & Mod. R.Mc.)
Music: James Mc­Gran­a­han





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

Refrain:
Now none but Christ can satisfy,
None other Name for me!
In You there's love and lasting joy
and sweetest liberty.

I sighed for rest and happiness,
I yearned for them, not You;
Although I passed my Saviour by,
His chased while I withdrew.

I drank from filthy waters, Lord,
But, ah, the waters failed;
Even as I stooped to drink they fled,
And mocked me as I wailed.

The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,
But never wept for You,
Till grace the sightless eyes received,
And saw a love so true.

Original Words

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.

Refrain:
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;
Even 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.
