O LOVE THAT WILT NOT LET ME GO

O Love That Wilt not let me go

1.

O Love that wilt 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.

2.

 O Light that follow'st all my way,
I yield my flick'ring torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.

3.

 O Joy that seekest me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to thee;

I trace the rainbow thro' the rain,

and feel the promise is not vain

that morn shall tearless be.

4.

 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red,
life that shall endless be.
