O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

Verse 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.

Verse 2

O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in they sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

Verse 3

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow thru the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

Verse 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.
