I wanted to hear the words to this song as the choral group versions are rather muddled. What a beautiful rendition by the union of two incredibly talented extended families!
Elaine Hegenberg's composition is truly beautiful. But why is it that only two from four stanzas of the lyrics are sung ? I have never seen any choir group sang the whole stanzas with this more recent composition. George Mattheson wrote a lyric that is deeply meaningful and very Christ-centered when read as a whole.
“O Love” was inspired by the words of Scottish minister, George Matheson in 1882. When he was blinded at the age of nineteen, his fiancé called off their engagement and his sister cared for him as he endured new challenges. Years later, on the eve of his sister’s wedding, he faced the painful reminder of his own heartache and loss as he penned the words to this hymn. Given a fresh melody, this setting for SATB choir (and optional cello) uses hopeful ascending lines representing renewed faith. Though lingering dissonances remind us of past heartache, the beautiful promise remains: “morn shall tearless be.” ... from Elaine Hagenberg's own website. I guess it's all the above...

Err… beautiful singing… but isn’t it a ‘breakup’ song?
i personally think it's more like remaining hopeful in finding love after past heartache
