O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 684 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:6 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.

With You, the Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: Death and Burial Used With Tune: O WIE SELIG
