O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 677 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 30 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt 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 followest all my way,
I yield my flickering 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.

O Love that wilt not let me go
Give to the winds thy fears
Author: J. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 518 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 30 Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope, and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head:
Through waves and clouds and storms
He gently clears the way:
Wait thou his time, so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.
2 Still heavy is thy heart?
Still sink thy spirits down?
Cast off the weight--let fear depart,
And every care be gone.
What though thou rulest not;
Yet heaven and earth and hell
Proclaim--God sitteth on the throne,
And ruleth all things well.
3 Leave to his sov-reign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wond'ring, own his way,
How wise, how strong his hand!
Far, far above thy thought
His counsel shall appear,
When fully he the work hath wrought
That caused thy needless fear. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; He Ruleth All Things Well

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 145 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 30 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on his shrine.

he will accept for the name that is dear;
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

Out of the depths of woe
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 30 Lyrics:
Out of the depths of woe,
To Thee, O Lord! I cry;
Darkness surrounds me, but I know
That Thou art ever nigh.
Then hearken to my voice,
Give ear to my complaint;
Thou bidst the mourning soul rejoice,
Thou comfortest the faint.
I cast my hope on Thee,
Thou canst, Thou wilt forgive;
Wert Thou to mark iniquity,
Who in thy sight could live?
Humbly on Thee I wait,
Confessing all my sin;
Lord, I am knocking at thy gate,
Open and take me in.
Like them, whose longing eyes
Watch till the morning-star,
(Though late and seen through tempests) rise,
Heaven's portals to unbar:--
Like them I watch and pray,
And though it tarry long,
87
Catch the first gleam of welcome day,
Then burst into a song,
Glory to God above!
The waters soon will cease,
For lo! the swift-returning dove
Brings home the sign of peace.
Though storms his face obscure,
And dangers threaten loud,
Jehovah's covenant is sure;
His bow is in the cloud.

I will love thee;
and that love may never cease,

thou hast spared me.

I will sing thee,
and the cream of all my heart
I will bring thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
thou didst clear me;
and alone, when they replied,
thou didst hear me.
3 Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise thee;
in my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise thee.

to enroll thee;

to extol thee. Topics: Forgiveness; Praise of God; Prayer; Reign of Christ Used With Tune: GWALCHMAI
