O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go | His Estate

#hisestate
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.
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.
(George Matheson 1842-1906)

I so enjoy your singing...... Thank you..... Blessings from South Africa!!

This is absolutely one of the most humble peaceful renditions of this beautiful song, listening over and over 🥰

[@NotMister]

I agree! I listen to this once a day.

[@deborahabili4717]

Yes, this is one of the best and soothing renditions of it all. I keep it on repeat whenever I get to it. God bless you all

[@NotMister]

@@deborahabili4717 I share it with others too.

[@moecoyle603]

Me too, I’ve been listening to it over and over, it’s such a beautiful song, and love the way Pete and Cara sing and play it, xx

[@BR549DBH]

I pray that I can return God's love back to Him with my name stamped on it. I certainty cannot love Him of my own love. The only love that counts is God's love that he pours into me. It is that love that wilt not let me go. I will uphold it and live the kind of life that proves I belong to Him. His love gives me a peace that keeps me content in every situation I am in. His love makes me strong and of good courage. It keeps me from being afraid and from being dismayed, cause it is always with me.

[@neiljohnson1773]

Greater love hath no man than this..that he would lay down his life for his friends. But God Commendeth his love toward us whilst we were yet enemies. Praise God for his endless grace and bountiful mercy and immeasurable love.

[@richardsmith9317]

Love this rendition of this hymn. I believe these guys really capture the heartfelt mood of the writer.

[@sandybennett541]

An anointed song of hope of a tender Lord who walks with us through life's storms.

[@michaelbrittain7445]

Beautifully done and - wonder of wonders beautiful diction! I could actually hear every 'T' and 'R' etc! This is so rare these days when everyone wants to sound American! The enunciation was so careful and considered & there were no silly vocal pyrotechnics & showing off! Thank you.

[@ArputharajSamuel]

A beautiful rendition of the classic song. If George Matheson hears this, he would be very glad.

[@jbigmamma3192]

I hope you sing more. So much beauty in your pure voices

[@tomaszm.5420]

Fantastic old Christian songs, wonderfully performed ... that's what I love.

[@Collectiveist]

You kept the hymn style and made it really sweet. Glorifies God. beautiful.

[@suesalama9417]

Beautiful, tender, sweet, God's Spirit is present. Thank you.

[@MightyAj]

I woke up with this tune playing a week or so back even though I don't recall hearing it for many years. O love that wilt not let me go. Thank you Jesus for always being there for me. Thank you, you two for singing it. God bless.

[@marvindalecausey5181]

I looked for words to express the deep revival of love and thanks in my heart for my Savior, and this song came unbidden to my mind. Thank You, Sweet Holy Spirit! Cindy Causey

[@captal6187]

Superbly sung. Good guitar playing. Keep up the good work.

[@kamelhaj6850]

"I trace the rainbow through the rain" - that always gets me!

[@bfcks]

Even more poignant when you remember (or discover) that George Matheson was blind by age 17. Wow. This is a beautiful recording; thank you so much!

[@kamelhaj6850]

@@bfcks I did not know that! His hope was remarkable!

[@neiljohnson1773]

My mum bless her soul hated this song for the impossibility of that picture "trace the rainbow though the rain" but for me it is the beauty of that impossibility except for the love of an almighty God.

[@szb6003]

Absolutely beautiful rendition! Thank you!

[@Carrie-xi5hv]

I wholeheartedly agree. A touching, lovely rendition sung straight from the heart. Thank you! ...the rainbow through the rain ❤️

[@williamhoward2731]

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Christian Hymn with me .

[@dawnmichelle4403]

What a beautiful hymn! The lyrics are so intense, a reminder to daily take up my cross and find joy in my pain. 💛

[@randijackson4694]

I listen to this almost daily since the first time I heard it. It is beautiful in so very many ways. It is simply sung, played, and recorded. Every word is understood, including the consonants at the end of the words. When you sing the word 'heart' in the 2nd verse, my ear sends a heavenly string straight to my heart that causes me to just stop and bask in its beauty. I am so grateful for this video. Thank you.

[@tonycastellon922]

God has blessed your life with a beautiful voice to sing praises to God all Mighty.

[@mauriciocosta7218]

I give thee back the life I owe. Simply magnificent. Superb execution. A blessing to us.

[@teabag8855]

Amen, God's love forever. John 10:28 (KJV) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

[@SimeonFM]

Achingly beautiful rendition of my favourite old hymn.

[@kovalanpachu]

I have experienced this song in my life. And many times I have wondered, is it just happening to me. And then for the first time, I heard a preacher mention this song. And a search brought me here. The rendering of the song brought out the true meaning. Thank you

[@Agiedroc2308]

Heard this song last year and it’s still on repeat and still in love with this version of the hymn

[@leahv3911]

Thank you for this lovely gift!!

[@crystalpalace4641]

Peace and Love to you

[@nicolasburns5387]

What a happy find! We will be using this to guide our family worship this week. I had the hardest time finding a version that wasn't epic acapella.

[@timmayfield7837]

Thank you both so much for this lovely, sincere, deeply moving version.

[@jackjohnhameld6401]

A much loved hymn, thank you.

[@dineshdavid405]

Thank you George Matheson. What a beautiful composition.

[@edsarro]

How can anyone dislike that?

[@VirginiaChambers]

This is the best... I loved all the others because I love this song so much... But I love the plain and simple singing of the hymn the way it was written... It was sung at my aunt's funeral... we were unsure if she was a Christian, but this song gave me peace about her salvation... I look forward to seeing her in Heaven.

[@annettehildreth6773]

My favorite hymn and a beautiful version.

Beautiful hymn. You have a lovely voice. Thank you

[@balikpulausongs]

The song was sung so clear and was so beautifully done that it was able to convey my hearts deepest love for our Saviour, as the words intended. No distraction from pictures or strong instruments. Please do more classic hymns this way. Simple yet touching the depths of my heart. The singer sang from memory alone. What a gift from God...!

[@josephsanders1583]

I love this hymn and so happy to discover these unnamed, incredibly talented Hope Community people. Subscribed. This is now my favorite version, eclipsing Chris Rice. Currently learning to imitate the guitar part. Absolutely lovely chord progression. This comment string is likely not monitored, but just in case...how do you make your 4th string sound an octave lower (or are my old ears simply failing)? Very worshipful. Thank you!

[@MsCookiemonster0]

Love this song. Have you guys recorded an album by any chance?

[@amandabyfield1339]

Hello, what a beautiful version. Do you allow use of this in funeral services? If it would be ok, would you have a audio track version to use? I understand this is not licensed, just a request. Thank you for making this!

hey. please could I have permission to play this at our next communion serve? we are doing a series on hymns and their meaning. this is a beautiful rendition
