Author: Rev. L. F. Cole Hymnal: Good Will #41 (1882) First Line: Searching, seeking, groping Refrain First Line: Fainting for salvation Lyrics: 1 Searching, seeking, groping,
Hungry, thirsty, cold,
Looking, sighing, hoping,
For the peace untold;
I am full of longing,
Loving and unrest,
While the sad thoughts thronging,
Crowd my troubled breast.
Chorus:
Fainting for salvation,
Lo! I come to thee;
Jesus, mighty, Savior,
Do thou pity me.
2 Dreary falls the even,
Sadly breaks the morn,
I am unforgiven,
Tired, weary, worn;
Sin has naught to give me,
Save the cup of woe,
Home can never shield me,
From my sleepless foe. [Chorus]
3 Beauties of the heaven,
Treasures of the deep,
Cannot charm my driven,
Restless soul to sleep;
Oh, this fainting, longing,
Weary, tired soul,
Full of sad thoughts thronging,
Longing to be whole. [Chorus]
