O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
==============================
w: George Matheson, 1882
m: Albert L. Peace, 1884
Tune: St. Margaret

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 3]
O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow thru the rain, and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

[Verse 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.
