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.
