My Search Is Over

I searched all over, looking for a river...
On highest hills and mighty mountains,
I sought for springs and fresh fountains.
I have found Jehovah, my search is over.

I searched all over, looking for a lover...
In glowing gardens and pleasant places,
I fraternized figures with fair faces.
I have found Jehovah, my search is over.

I searched all over, looking for a cover...
Under trees, in fortresses and fields,
I sought for safe sheds and surest shields.
I have found Jehovah, my search is over.

I searched all over, looking for a giver...
Buried under a load of lack and loss,
I wanted a crown for the rugged cross.
I have found Jehovah, my search is over.
