Clinging to Thee
Charlotte Elliott (1834) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 118:8
Verse 1
O Holy Savior! Friend unseen, Since on thine arm thou bid'st me lean, Help me, throughout life's changing scene, By faith to cling to thee!
Verse 2
What though the world deceitful prove, And earthly friends and joys remove? With patient, uncomplaining love Still I would cling to thee.
Verse 3
Though faith and hope awhile be tried, I ask not, need not aught beside: How safe, how calm, how satisfied, The souls that cling to thee.
