76. Jesus Satisfies My Soul

1 Jesus satisfies my soul, for I am sav’d
From the sin that caus’d unrest;
He has broken all the chains that once enslav’d,
Bringing heaven to my breast.

Refrain:
Oh! He satisfies, satisfies my soul,
For He is my constant friend;
And He promises the sunshine of His smile
In the life that has no end.

2 Jesus satisfies my soul when sorrows press
Like a thorn-crown on my brown;
There are pledges in His word that soothe distress,
And His arm sustains me now. [Refrain]

3 Jesus satisfies my soul when trials keen
Aim their weapons at my heart;
I am shielded by a mighty hand unseen,
That can turn each fiery dart. [Refrain]

4 Jesus satisfies my soul while changing years
Steal away life’s cherish’d bloom;
Tho’ the valley of the shadow swiftly nears,
There’s no terror in its gloom. [Refrain]
