O love that wilt not let me go
I rest my weary soul in There;
I give back the life I owe,
That in There ocean depths it’s flow
May richer, fuller be.
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.
A cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask fly from there,
I lay in dust life’s glory dead from the ground
There blossom red life that shall endless Be
