With CSS, use “…” for overflowed block of multi-lines

Is there way to truncate lines of a paragraph in css?
e.g. i have 7 line paragraph, and I want them to truncate into 3 lines.
I have tried this:
p {
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 100%; }
but it will form 1 line truncated

Use css code as

p{
height: 50px; //depends up on whatever you want
width: 100%
// add your css code
}
