Soothing arrangement of O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go,
perfect for prelude, offertory, or other special
service music.
A few months ago, I got a letter from my friend Mrs.
Jones back in Virginia asking me to record some
“better” hymns for my YouTube channel. Thankfully,
she provided a list, so I knew exactly what she
meant—“And Can It Be,” “Glorious Things of Thee
Are Spoken,” “It Is Well with My Soul,” and this
one, which was the only one I was unfamiliar with.

Soothing arrangement of O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go,

A few months ago, I got a letter from my friend Mrs.
Jones back in Virginia asking me to record some
“better” hymns for my YouTube channel. Thankfully,
she provided a list, so I knew exactly what she
meant—“And Can It Be,” “Glorious Things of Thee
Are Spoken,” “It Is Well with My Soul,” and this
one, which was the only one I was unfamiliar with.
Even when I found it in Great Hymns of the Faith, I
still didn’t recognize it—but it was easy to see
why she liked it so much. Albert L. Peace’s soothing
melody does an outstanding job supporting George
Matheson’s words, which describe the consistent love
of Christ towards His people. “Love that wilt not
let me go,” “Light that foll’west all my way,”
“Joy that seekest me through pain,” “Cross that
lifted up my head”—these are the attributes of
Christ. If you are ever worried about anything, the
words and music of this hymn are sure to relax. Thanks
for telling me about it, Mrs. Jones!
