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 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
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 hide from thee
I lay in dust life’s glory dead
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be
