1. O Love that wilt 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 follow'st 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.

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.
