260. O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

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 follow'st 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 thro' the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
