Author: Anon. Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #593 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.6 First Line: I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew 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.
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.
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.
