When Jesus no longer stands
preciously nigh,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
I look to the Rock
that is higher than I,
And peace, wondrous peace
floods my soul.
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
Clouds at His presence roll away;
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
His glory turns my darkness into day.
The sun may be shining
on fields bright and gay,
With springtime perfumes
in the breeze;
Yet, life without Jesus
is winter in May,
Without Him no prospect can please.
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
Clouds at His presence roll away;
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
His glory turns my darkness into day.
If living like Paul
all victorious and free,
Tho’ beaten while multitudes stare;
Tho’ put behind bars
’twould be heaven to me,
For Jesus will dwell with me there.
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
Clouds at His presence roll away;
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
His glory turns my darkness into day.
If faithful in standing
for what I believe
Brings scoffing and fire, I can dare
To laugh in the furnace
where I am to burn,
For Jesus will dwell with me there.
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
Clouds at His presence roll away;
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
His glory turns my darkness into day.
