1 O Love, that wilt not let me go,
I give Thee back the life I owe,
2 O Light, that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
3 O Joy, that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
4 O Cross, that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
