“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.
“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 is day
May brighter, fairer be”
A scriptural counsel bids us keep ourselves in the love of God. This does not mean that we should keep ourselves loving God. Of course, we should always love God. He should ever have the first place in our affection. Not to love God is to fail in our first and holiest duty, to cut ourselves off from the source of all blessing, and to rob our lives of the best good.
