LOVE ~ LIGHT ~ JOY and The CROSS ~ AMEN !
O LOVE that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in THEE
I give YOU back the LIFE I owe
That in Your Ocean Depths it flow
May Richer ~ Fuller BE !
O LIGHT that follows all my WAY
I yield My Flickering Torch to THEE
My Heart restores its borrowed RAY
That in Your Sunshines blaze its DAY
May Brighter ~ Fairer BE !
O JOY that seeks for me through PAIN
I cannot close my Heart to THEE
I trace the Rainbow through the RAIN
And know the Promise is not VAIN
That Morn shall Tearless BE !
O CROSS that liftests up my HEAD
I dare not seek to fly from thee
I lay in DUST lifes Glory DEAD
And from the ground there blossoms RED
LIFE that shall Endless BE !
Thanks for Reading ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
This very Beautiful Hymn was written by George Mattheson
who was BLIND. It was written by George shortly after his
Fiancee had broken off their engagement. George realised
that although sometimes ~ Human Love may fail ~ The Love
of GOD NEVER EVER LETS GO ~ AMEN !
Hymns are very important in Christian Worship as Brother
ORCHIDEE reminds us every day ! I was recently at a Seminar
on HYMNOLOGY and we were asked \"Which ONE HYMN would
we like at your FUNERAL ?\" Without hesitating I replied \"O LOVE
that will not let me go\" especially the last verse ~ Love BRIAN !
