So this is my favorite hymn of the moment...
I say at the moment because there is a list of all time favorites which include It is Well,Before the Throne, and other classics...
I actually first heard this sang in church at First Pres and really just loved the music... The worship leader just had the perfect voice to go along with it...
later we sang it at RUF and the words really started to sink in... now I love both the music and words!
O Love that Will Not Let Me Go
Words: George Matheson. Music: Christopher Miner
1. O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
O give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2. O light that followest all my way,
I yeild my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in they sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3. O joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
4. 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.

Praise the Lord! Hymns have a richness and depth that is often overlooked. Thanks for writing about this. When you have a chance, look at the text of the hymn "He Giveth More Grace". A friend of mine wrote an arrangement of it that I sometimes just put on repeat and play for hours. It blesses me so much! Hope it blesses you too. Love ya.
