O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

  B         F#       E      B  B/A#
O love that will not let me go,
  G#m     F#/A# B     E       F#
I rest my       weary soul in thee;
  B         F#       E      B   B/A#
I give thee back the life I owe,
      G#m    F#/A# B      E          F#
that in thine      oceans depths its flow.
    C#m    G#m    F# F#/E F#/D# F#
May richer fuller be.


[Verse 2]
  B          F#        E      B   B/A#
O light that followest all my way,
  G#m     F#/A B          E        F#
I yield my     flickering torch to thee.
   B       F#         E        B   B/A#
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
       G#m F#/A# B          E         F#
that in thy      sunshine's blaze its day.
    C#m      G#m    F# F#/E F#/D# F#
May brighter fairer be.


[Verse 3]
  B        F#      E          B    B/A#
O joy that seekest me through pain,
  G#m   F#/A# B     E           F#
I cannot      close my heart to thee.
  B         F#      E           B   B/A#
I chase the rainbow through the rain,
        G#m  F#/A# B       E      F#
and feel the       promise is not vain.
     C#m        G#m      F# F#/E F#/D# F#
That morn shall tearless be.


[Verse 4]
   B         F#      E     B    B/A#
O cross that liftest up my head,
  G#m     F#/A# B      E        F#
I dare not      ask to fly from thee.
  B      F#            E     B    B/A#
I lay in dust's life's glory dead,
         G#m F#/A# B       E              F#
and from the        ground there blossoms red.
     C#m        G#m     F# F#/E F#/D# F#
Life that shall endless be.
