O Love that wilt not let me go...

Of all the hymns that I love, there is one that's resounding in my life. It's not as popular as Amazing Grace, or I Surrender All, or Blessed Assurance, but I think the 4 verses really cover the different aspects of God's characteristics in our life.Though I've never had a chance to sing it in church worship services, I'm so glad that God still let me learn the sweet tune and beautiful lyrics. My most favourite part is in the first line of verse 1 (which reminds me of a sweet whisper one moment in my life long ago) and verse 3. I hope you all may enjoy these 4 wonderful verses also:

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
(Text: George Matheson, 1842-1906;Music: Albert L. Peace, 1844-1912)

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 thru 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.
