O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
Organ, every verse, the words light up as you sing. Tune: St. Margaret.
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 flowMay 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 blaze, its dayMay 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 vainThat morn shall tearless be.
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 redLife that shall endless be.
