O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

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. 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 glow its day may brighter, Fairer be. 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. 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.
