Notes ST. MARGARET 8. 8. 8. 8. 6.
Lyrics 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. O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flick'ring torch to Thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in Thy sunshine's glow its day May brighter, fairer be. O Joy that seekest me thro' 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 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.
