O Love that will not let me go

Great great hymn...
With thanks to Jeanne who cracked open one of her many hymn books and brought this back to my attention.

1 O Love that will not let me go, 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 follows 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.

3 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.

4 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.
