Why not here content abide?
Why art thou forever pleading?
Why art thou not satisfied?
Soul of mine, my heart is clinging
To the earth’s fair pomp and pride;
Ah, why dost thou thus reprove me?
Why art thou not satisfied?
Soul of mine, must I surrender,
See myself as crucified;
Turn from all of earth’s ambition,
That thou may’st be satisfied?
Soul of mine, continue pleading;
Sin rebuke, and folly chide;
I accept the cross of Jesus,
That thou may’st be satisfied.
Chorus
I shall be satisfied, I shall be satisfied,
When I awake in His likeness,
I shall be satisfied, I shall be satisfied,
When I awake in His likeness.
El. Nathan

I looked to Jesus in my sin,
My woe and want confessing;
Undone and lost, I came to Him,
I sought and found a blessing.
I looked to Jesus on the cross,
For me I saw Him dying;
God’s word believed that all my sins
Were there upon Him lying.
I looked to Jesus there on high,
From death upraised to glory;
I trusted in His power to save,
Believed the old, old story.
He looked on me; O look of love!
My heart by it was broken;
And, with that look of love,
He gave The Holy Spirit’s token.
Now one with Christ, I find my peace
In Him to be abiding,
And in His love for all my need,
In childlike faith confiding.
Chorus
“I looked to Him, to Him I looked,”
‘Tis true, His “Whosoever;”
“He looked on me, on me He looked,
And we were one for ever.”
El. Nathan
