Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #458 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Lyrics: 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 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.
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. Topics: General Hymns Faith, Hope and Love Scripture: Ephesians 1:23 Languages: English Tune Title: ST MARGARET
