Text: | O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go |
Author: | George Matheson |
Tune: | ST. MARGARET |
Composer: | Albert L. Peace |
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 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 thro' 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.
