Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I had sought throughout creation Lyrics: I had sought throughout creation, Searched its vast, amazing whole, For an object to delight in, Adequate to fill the soul. After turning nature’s pages Forward, backward, o’er and o’er, I attained not satisfaction, But my longings grew the more. Then amid angelic orders Asked I if there were not one, Willing to extend his friendship To a wretched soul undone: Soon a lofty spirit answered, “No; there is not one of us, Can hold friendship with a spirit Fallen, guilty, wandering thus.” Shame and grief now overwhelmed me,— My sad heart was nigh to break, All my frame with terror trembled, And my tongue no more could speak; Then gushed forth a briny torrent, Down unto the crystal floor, Nothing through unending ages, Can from memory blot that hour. Then a glance in helpless sorrow Turned I to the central throne,— There I saw the Mediator Who for my life gave his own. “There is He,” I faintly whispered, “Read I not upon His face, That his heart is full of pity, Full, to sinful worms, of grace?” Then I drew unto his footstool, Prostrate fell before his seat; And I pleaded for his favour; Pointing to his hands and feet: “I will pour,” I said, “my sorrow And my need into his ear, All my grief I will unbosom: It is Jesus, need I fear!” Then while I a bosom opened, Full of darkness, want and sin, He a bosom full of mercy Opened to receive me in: Those kind hands which once were piercèd, Reached he forth to raise my head:— From that all-transporting moment All my hopeless longings fled.

Zion Asleep.

Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O that now mine eyes were fountains Lyrics: O that now mine eyes were fountains, That I night and day might weep, To see Zion in the desert, On her journey gone asleep. In its sin the wide world lying, Zion halted—sleeping fast: With thy breath to wake the valley, Come, eternal Spirit, haste! Zion, wake! O hear the groaning Of the earth beneath her wrong; Time it is that thou wert stirring, Why, O why hast slept so long? Slumbered hast thou many ages, And thy Lord account hath kept: Shall thy foes say, Zion, Zion! “None, as thou, so long hath slept!”
