oh 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!

oh joy that seekest me through pain

i cannot close my heart to Thee

i trace the rainbow through the rain

and trust the promise is not vain, that morn shall tearless be!

oh cross that liftest up my head

i dare not ask to fly from thee

i lay in last life's glory dead

and from the ground there blossoms red life that shall endless be!
