LOVE AND LOYALTY


True-Hearted, Whole-Hearted, Faithful and Loyal
 


Love That Wil Not Let Me Go 110
(ST. MARGARET. 8,8,8,8,6)
George Matheson, 1882 Albert Peace, 1885-1912
 


  1. O Love that will 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.
  2. O Light that followest all my way,
    I Yield my flickering torch to thee;
    My heart restores it borrowed ray,
    That in , thy sun-shine's blaze its day
    May brighter, fairer be.
  3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
    I cannot close my heart to thee;
    I trace the rainbow thro' the rain,
    And feel the promise is not vain
    That morn shall tearless

  4. O Cross that litest 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 end less be. Amen.
