O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

   C                        G7
O love that will not let me go
G
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
E                           Am
I give Thee back the life I owe,
     D7                        G
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
C   G7   C   G7    C
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 lifteth up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.


O cross that lifteth 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.
