I will Not Let Thee Go

Author: Mrs. J. C. Yule Hymnal: SLP41897 #118 (1897) Scripture: Genesis 32:26 First Line: Nay, I will not let thee go Lyrics: 1 Nay, I will not let thee go, Tho’ the midnight glideth slow, Tho’ the darkness deep and long Dim the eye and hush the song; On thy tender, faithful breast Find I still my perfect rest, Soothing sweet for keenest woe, And I will not let thee go. 2 Nay, I will not let thee go, Tho’ the morn’s enkindling glow Flame along the mountain height, Flooding all the hills with light. What can morning bring to me, Tender Shepherd, wanting thee? What her songs but sobs of woe? Nay, I will not let thee go. 3 Nay, I will not let thee go, Tho’ the days no shadows know; Tho’, the sky’s serene to dim, Come no storm-clouds dark and grim. Whom have I in heav’n but thee? What besides hath earth for me? Thou the only trust I know, Nay, I will not let thee go. 4 Let thee go? my Saviour, nay; Thou my night’s unfailing day, Thou my dawning’ tend’rest gleam, Thou my noonday’s richest beam; Night is day if thou art near, Day, without thee, joyless, drear, Wanting thee—all bliss were woe, Nay, I will not let thee go. Tune Title: [Nay, I will not let thee go]

Refrain: Glory, glory, hallelujah! We the victor’s pathway tread; Glory for the present triumph, And for victories ahead. 2 Shouts beforehand are as forceful As the mighty earthquake shock, And before our notes of triumph Earthborn structures reel and rock; Fetters break and fall asunder, Prison doors are opened wide, And we onward sweet to vict’ry, Like the sea’s restless tide.

His dear word hath made me free,— Oh, what boundless liberty! 3 Once my robes, by sin polluted, Were as filthy rags unclean; In the great King’s royal presence I could never thus be seen.

Blessedness beyond degree, Jesus is a rest for me! 5 Hallelujah, what a Saviour! Half his love was never told; I have found his kingly favor Richer treasure far than gold. Praise him, O my ransomed soul, While eternal ages roll. 6 Oh, that all who hear the story For themselves would taste and see; Come to him; his banner o’er thee Everlasting love shall be. To thy weary soul be given Rest on earth and rest in heaven. Tune Title: [Once my eyes saw nothing comely]
