I will not let Thee go; I must
Thy bless¤ing now ob¤tain,
Since God and truth in¤spire my trust,
How just and right my claim.

I will not let Thee go; the day
Is hast¤’ning on a¤pace,
And I must know al¤might¤y power,
Thy love and sov¤’reign grace.

I will not, will not let Thee go,
Lest Sa¤tan should de¤ride,
While Fa¤ther, Son and Spir¤it pray,
All heaven is on my side.

I will not let Thee go; my soul
Shall wres¤tle on un¤til
My name is changed and I be¤come
A prince to do Thy will.

I will not let Thee go, Oh, touch
Self will, that I may stay
The work¤ings of the car¤nal mind,
The mind of Christ o¤bey.

I will not let Thee go; O Lord,
The glo¤rious change be wrought,
That I may go forth to pre¤vail,
A soul Thy blood has bought.

I will not let Thee go; though maimed
And halt, the sun shall rise
Up¤on a prince that God has sealed,
And gained the roy¤al prize.
