George Matheson's hymn

It's Easter and I as usual was reading a book in church. I felt the need for God so strongly, this poem seemed beautiful to me. I've copied it from Recapture the Wonder.

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 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 in vain
That morn shall tearless be.
