O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

	  		
verse 1 
G                           G D 
O Love that wilt not let me go, 
  D7                    D  D7 
I rest my weary soul in thee; 
  G         B              Em 
I give thee back the life I owe, 
     A7                        G 
that in thine ocean depths its flow 
    D       G      D7   G 
may richer, full - er   be. 

verse 2 
  G                           G  D 
O Light that followest all my way, 
  D7                           D D7 
I yield my flickering torch to thee; 
   G        B                 Em 
my heart restores its borrowed ray, 
     A7                          G 
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day 
    D         G      D7    G 
may brighter, fair - er    be. 

verse 3 
G                             G  D 
O Joy that seekest me through pain, 
  D7                       D D7 
I cannot close my heart to thee; 
  G          B                 Em 
I trace the rainbow through the rain, 
    A7                      G 
and feel the promise is not vain, 
     D          G    D7  G 
that morn shall tearless be. 

verse 4 
G                          G  D 
O Cross that liftest up my head, 
  D7                       D D7 
I dare not ask to fly from thee; 
   G     B                Em 
I lay in dust life’s glory dead, 
    A7                             G 
and from the ground there blossoms red 
     D          G  D7   G 
life that shall endless be.
