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.
