  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.

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