Love That Wil Not Let Me Go

(ST. MARGARET. 8,8,8,8,6)

George Matheson, 1882

Albert Peace, 1885-1912

1. 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 flow
   May richer, fuller be.
   
2. O Light that followest all my way,
   I Yield my flickering torch to thee;
   My heart restores it borrowed ray,
   That in , thy sun-shine'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 thro' the rain,
   And feel the promise is not vain
   That morn shall tearless
   
   
4. O Cross that litest 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 end less be. Amen.
