O Love that will not let me go

Lyrics: George Matheson (Mod. R.Mc.)

Music: Albert L Peace

O Love that will not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in You;

I give You back the life I owe,

That in Your ocean depths its flow

May richer, fuller be.

O light that follows all my way,

I yield my flick’ring torch to You;

My heart restores its borrowed ray,

That in Your sunshine’s blaze its day

May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that’s seeking me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to You;

I trace the rainbow through the rain,

And feel the promise is not vain,

That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross, where once my Saviour bled

I dare not ask to flee from You;

I lay in dust, life’s glory dead,

And from the ground there blossoms red

Life that shall endless be.

Original Words

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.

O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May 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 vain,
That 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 red
Life that shall endless be.
