Author: Anonymous Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #380 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.6.10.8 Topics: Love of Christ Lyrics: 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.
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
No, I was found of Thee.
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.
’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold,
As Thou, dear Lord, on me.
3 I find, I walk, I love; but O the whole
Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee!
For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
Always Thou lovedst me.
For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
Always, always Thou lovedst me. Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA
