O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 693 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:17-25 Lyrics: 1 O Love that will 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.
2 O Light that follows all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee.
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy 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. Topics: Conversion and New Life; Death and Eternal Life; Funeral / Memorial Service; Jesus Christ Images and Names of; New Creation Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET Text Sources: Life and Work . . ., 1883
O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
While thee I seek, protecting Power!
Author: Williams Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 685 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:17 Lyrics: 1 While thee I seek, protecting Power!
Be my vain wishes stilled;
And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be filled.

To thee my thoughts would soar;
Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed--
That mercy I adore!
3 In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see!
Each blessing to my soul more dear,
Because conferred by thee.
4 In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayer.
5 When gladness wings my favored hour,
Thy love my thoughts shall fill;
Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower,
My soul shall meet thy will.

The gathering storm shall see;
My steadfast heart shall know no fear,
That heart shall rest on thee! Topics: Attributes of God Providence; Habitual Devotion

I love to steal awhile away
Author: Mrs. Brown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 633 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:17 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumb'ring care;
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear;
And all his promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore;
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven:
The prospect does my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day. Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion; Secret Prayer at Twilight

Almighty Father of All Things That Be
Author: Ernest E. Dugmore Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:17 Lyrics: 1 Almighty father of all things that be,
our life, our work we consecrate to thee,
whose heav'ns declare thy glory from above,
whose earth below is witness to thy love.
2 For well we know this weary, soiled earth
is yet thine own by right of its new birth,
since that great cross upreared on Calvary
redeemed it from its fault and shame to thee.
3 Thine still the changeful beauty of the hills,
the purple valleys flecked with silver rills,
the ocean glist'ning 'neath the golden rays:
they all are thine, and ceaseless speak thy praise.
4 Thou dost the strength to worker's arms impart;
from thee the skilled musician's reasoned art,
the grace of poet's pen or painter's hand,
to teach the loveliness of sea and land.
5 Then grant us, Lord, in all things thee to own,
to dwell within the shadow of thy throne,
to speak and work, to think and live and move
reflecting thine own nature, which is love;
6 that so, by Christ redeemed from sin and shame,
and hallowed by thy Spirit's cleansing flame,
ourselves, our work, and all our powers may be
a sacrifice acceptable to thee. Used With Tune: CHILTON FOLIAT
