lyrics

O Love that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in Thee
I give You back the life I owe
that in Your ocean depths its flow
may richer fuller be

O Light that follows all my ways
I yield my flickering torch to Thee
my heart restores its borrowed ray
that in Your sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter fairer be

O Love, we turn to You for all we need
O Love, we rest in You our cares relieved

O Joy that seeks 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

O Love, we turn to You for all we need
O Love, we rest in You our cares relieved

The love of Christ our great reward
The greatest gift given for all
The love of Christ the anchor for our souls

O cross that lifts 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, we turn to You for all we need
O Love, we rest in You our cares relieved

The love of Christ our great reward
The greatest gift given for all
The love of Christ the anchor for our souls
