he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
it was not I that found, O Savior true;
no, I was found, was found of thee.
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
no, I was found, was found of thee.

I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea;

For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
always, always thou lovedst me.
