Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A 19th-century hymn by Emma Frances Bevan expressing that true rest, peace, and joy are found in Christ alone. Its recurring refrain — 'None but Christ can satisfy' — became one of the best-known lines in Plymouth Brethren hymnody.
Verse 1
O Christ! in Thee my soul hath found,
And found in Thee alone,
The peace, the joy I sought so long,
The bliss till now unknown.
Chorus
Now none but Christ can satisfy,
None other Name for me;
There's love, and life, and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in Thee.
Verse 2
I sighed for rest and happiness,
I yearned for them, not Thee;
But while I passed my Saviour by
His love laid hold on me.
Chorus
Now none but Christ can satisfy,
None other Name for me;
There's love, and life, and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in Thee.
Verse 3
I tried the broken cisterns, Lord,
But, ah! the waters failed;
E'en as I stooped to drink they fled,
And mocked me as I wailed.
Chorus
Now none but Christ can satisfy,
None other Name for me;
There's love, and life, and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in Thee.
Verse 4
The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,
But never wept for Thee,
Till grace the sightless eyes received
Thy loveliness to see.
Chorus
Now none but Christ can satisfy,
None other Name for me;
There's love, and life, and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in Thee.
