I sought The Lord, And Afterward I knew Lyrics

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.
