O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

Words: George Matheson · Music: Albert L. Peace · 1882

Verse 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.

Verse 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 glow its day
may brighter, fairer 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 hide from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory, dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be.
