O LOVE THAT
WILL NOT LET ME GO
O Love, that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give thee back the life I owe, that in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be, may richer, fuller be.
O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray, that in Thy sunshine’s glow it’s day
May brighter, fairer be; may brighter, fairer be.
O Joy, that seekest me through the pain, I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be, that morn shall tearless be.
O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to hide from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead, and from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be, life that shall endless be.
