“O Love That Will Not Let Me Go”

[Nelson Bradford]

I have loved you with an everlasting love. ~ Jeremiah 31:3

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.

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.

- George Matheson, 1882
