I Sought the Lord, and Afterward I Knew

  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, was found of thee.
    It was not I that found, O Savior true;
    no, I was found, 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, on me.
    ’Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
    as thou, dear Lord, on me, 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, always thou lovedst me.
    For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
    always, always thou lovedst me.
