My Soul Fainteth

Verse 1

Searching, seeking, groping, Hungry, thirsty, cold, Looking, sighing, hoping, For the peace untold; I am full of longing, Loving and unrest, While the sad thoughts thronging, Crowd my troubled breast.

Chorus

Fainting for salvation, Lo! I come to thee; Jesus, mighty, Savior, Do thou pity me.

Verse 2

Dreary falls the even, Sadly breaks the morn, I am unforgiven, Tired, weary, worn; Sin has naught to give me, Save the cup of woe, Home can never shield me, From my sleepless foe.

Verse 3

Beauties of the heaven, Treasures of the deep, Cannot charm my driven, Restless soul to sleep; Oh, this fainting, longing, Weary, tired soul, Full of sad thoughts thronging, Longing to be whole.
