1. 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.
2. 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 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 through 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. - George Matheson
