'oh Love that will not let me go'

Oh 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

Oh Life 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 blazes, day

May brighter fairer be

Oh Joy that seekest me through pain

I cannot close my heart to Thee

I trace the rainbow through the rain

And feel the promises not vain

That more shall tearless be

Oh Cross that liftest up my head

I dare not ask to fly from Thee

I lay in dusk, life’s glory dead

And from the ground their blossoms red,

Life that shall endless be
