10.10.10.6 [1530]Artavia: Edward J. Hopkins, 1887 Anonymous, c.1878 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 of thee. 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. 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. |
