O Love

Alathea

Compositor: Alathea / George Matheson

O Love that will 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 thine sunshine's blaze its day may brighter, fairer be

CHORUS:
O Love that will not let me go
O Love that will not let me go
O Love that will not let me go

O Joy that seeks me through my pain
I cannot close my heart to thee
I trace the rainbow thru the rain
And feel the promise is not in vain, morn shall tearless be

CHORUS

O Cross that liftest up my head
I dare not ask to fly from thee
I lay in dust life's glory dead
Where from the ground there blossoms red;
Life shall endless be

CHORUS
