Jean Ingelow, 1878

Verse 1

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

He moved my soul to seek Him, seeking me.

It was not I that found, O Savior true,

No, I was found of Thee.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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

Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee!

For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul,

Always Thou lovedst me.
