Meditating on this song tonight--perhaps the most beautiful poetry I have ever heard.
O Love that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in Thee
I give the back the life I owe
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer fuller be
O Light that fallest on 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 not in vain
That morn shall tearless be
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
O Love that will not let me go
