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


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


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


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