O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 684 hymnals 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 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.
