Text

1 All this world, its wealth and honor,

Cannot sate the human breast;

But when filled with God, our Father,

Every want is fully blest.

Refrain:

My soul is satisfied,

My soul is satisfied;

I am complete in Jesus love,

And my soul is satisfied.

2 All my soul can wish forever

I do find in Christ replete;

Every blessing and the Giver

In my peaceful bosom meet. [Refrain]

3 Is thy life bereft of comfort?

And thy heart a cheerless spot?

Say not Christ is in thy desert--

For we can believe it not. [Refrain]

4 Can a bird drink up the ocean,

Thirsting still from shore to shore;

Or the God of all creation

Leave thy heart yet craving more? [Refrain]

5 Would my soul could more encompass

Heaven's glory, willed to me;

Oh, the love of God so precious,

'Tis a deep and shoreless sea. [Refrain]
