Satisfied
Author: H. L. H. Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #111 (1902) First Line: Not here, where sparkling waters Lyrics: 1 Not here, where sparkling waters
Fade into mocking sand,
Where the faint footstep falters,
We find our long-sought land;
Not here, where dreams deceive us,
And floods of sorrow roll,
Where bitter memories grieve us,
We seek our final goal.
2 No, far beyond time's sorrow,
Beyond this land of tears,
There breaks a bright tomorrow,
The dawn of endless years;
There God in glory reigning,
Bids sorrow all depart,
Hushes each sad complaining,
And heals each broken heart.
3 There ev'ry pulse is thrilling,
With rapture none can know,
There peace the heart is stilling,
While happy ages flow;
No sorrows there distress us,
We shall in peace abide,
For while our God shall bless us,
We shall be satisfied.
4 What countless joys are thronging
On all the heavenly hills,
To meet our heart's deep longing,
Which nothing earthly fills;
Thither our steps are tending,
With Jesus to abide,
And there in life unending,
We shall be satisfied. Tune Title: [Not here, where sparkling waters]
