O love that will not let me go,
Em D/F# G C D
I rest my weary soul in thee;
G D C G G/F#
I give thee back the life I owe,
Em D/F# G C D
that in thine oceans depths its flow.
Am Em D D/C D/B D
May richer fuller be.

G D C G G/F#
O light that followest all my way,
Em D/F# G C D
I yield my flickering torch to thee.
G D C G G/F#
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
Em D/F# G C D
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day.
Am Em D D/C D/B D
May brighter fairer be.

[Verse 3]
G D C G G/F#
O joy that seekest me through pain,
Em D/F# G C D
I cannot close my heart to thee.
G D C G G/F#
I chase the rainbow through the rain,
Em D/F# G C D
and feel the promise is not vain.
Am Em D D/C D/B D
That morn shall tearless be.

[Verse 4]
G D C G G/F#
O cross that liftest up my head,
Em D/F# G C D
I dare not ask to fly from thee.
G D C G G/F#
I lay in dust's life's glory dead,
Em D/F# G C D
and from the ground there blossoms red.
Am Em D D/C D/B D
Life that shall endless be.
