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.

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.

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.

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.
