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.
2. 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.
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, [red And from the ground there blossoms Life that shall endless be.
