76 O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
[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.

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.

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.
