339 – O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

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 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 thru 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.

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.
