“O Love” was the fist piece of Elaine’s I heard and I love it! My pastor sent it to me thru a very good friend. Your musical arrangements have touched many. Thank you Elaine
This. Is. Stunning. We have a superb men’s section in our choir and a brilliant cellist too. Thank you for holding me spellbound and feeling God’s presence with this ethereal music. My brother in law literally cried hearing this and is now introducing me to more written by you! Music like this is SO uplifting AND doable, perhaps not with the same peerless quality of voices and all, but still. And love the old texts.
O LOVE THAT WILT NOT LET ME GO (George Matheson) 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. 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. 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. 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.
Heard this for the first time in my church today. I leaned to my mother and said if I go before you, I want this sung at my funeral. I have no words as to how divine the music is and the words are just perfect.
This hymn has special meaning for me, as it was one of 2 hymns my mother selected to be sung at her funeral. This setting is so lovely...thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Discovered her on Beckenhorst Press. An amazing group. I sang this song first in 2016. 2021 and I still love it. "I give thee back the life I owe that in thine oceans depth it flows, may richer fuller be!!! Than morn shall tearless be..." Shalom
That’s genius. (You may be wondering why somebody is replying to your comment a year later. A Louisiana All State will be singing this in November of this year and I gave it a listen!)

O LOVE THAT WILT NOT LET ME GO (George Matheson)
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.
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.
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.
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.

Just heard this piece for the first time today at a choir festival. I was completely captivated. Absolutely gorgeous!

If you want a real treat, play the SSA and TTBB arrangements simultaneously.
That’s genius. (You may be wondering why somebody is replying to your comment a year later. A Louisiana All State will be singing this in November of this year and I gave it a listen!)
