O Love, that wilt not let me go,

| 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 followest all my way, |
| | I yeild my flickering 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. |
