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, full - er 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 thy sunshine?s blaze its day
may brighter, fair - er be.
verse 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.
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.
