O Love That Will Not Let Me Go (Lyrics)

(Acappella Male 4 Part Harmony = Download)

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.

(this verse was not sung in the audio above)
O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer 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.

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.

PRAYER

O my Jesus, my love, my all,
Teach me to know from which
things I ought to detach myself,
and what must I do to please You.
O my Beloved Redeemer,
behold this day I give myself
all to You without reserve.

O my own Mother Mary,
obtain this grace for me.
