Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Hymnal #324 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.6 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 Saviour 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.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; Aspiration; Assurance; Christ Call, Answering Christ's; Contentment; God Love and Fatherhood, His; Inner Life, The; Love and Communion; Meditation Tune Title: KERR
