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.
