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 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.
