Program Notes:

Dr. George Matheson’s beautiful hymn, “O Love that Wilt Not Let Me Go”, is poetry of the highest form and is religion at its deepest.  Written as a catharsis during the time of severe suffering, these words came to the writer “Like dayspring from on high – I have never been able to gain once more the same fervor in verse.”  For over a century these words, with their symbols of love, light, joy, and the cross, have articulated the Christian walk for generations of believers.
