314. O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go (Oh, amor que no me dejarás)

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.

2 O Light that foll'west 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 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.

---

1 Oh,amor que no me dejarás,
descansa mi alma siempre en ti;
es tuya y tú la guardarás,
y en el océano de tu amor
más rica al fin será.

2 Oh, luz que en mi sendero vas,
mi antorcha débil rindo a ti;
su luz apaga el corazón,
seguro de encontrar en ti
más bello resplandor.

3 Oh, gozo que a buscarme a mí
viniste con mortal dolor;
tras la tormenta, el arco vi,
y ya el mañana, yo lo sé,
sin lágrimas será.

4 Oh, cruz que miro sin cesar,
mi orgullo, gloria y vanidad,
al polvo dejo por hallar
la vida que en su sangre dio
Jesús, mi Salvador.
