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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

O love that will not let me go.! I rest my weary soul in thee. I give you back the life you own. Finally I see and experience I’m not my own. Here I realize I’m defeated and am not my own. What a revelation. Verse four really is a deep inspiration. Here we lie in dust. Our natural glory like that of grass is gone. So now from this dust His eternal life in me may rise. We must not leave the cross for through its work we will express His glory. This seems to be the experience or inspiration of one who is suffering in life and maybe near the end of life. Here through it all the writer sees he is held in Gods love till the end.

"I give Thee back the life I owe..." I am not my own. I have been bought with a price... the precious blood of the Lamb. Lord Jesus thank You... You loved me and gave Yourself up for me... I take the way the way of salvation. I love You Lord...
