122. I Cling to Thee

1 O holy Savior! friend unseen
Since on thine arm thou bidst me lean,
Help me throughout life’s changing scene
By faith to cling to thee,
By faith to cling to thee,
By faith to cling to thee,
Help me throughout life’s changing scene
By faith to cling to thee.

2 Blest with this fellowship divine,
Take what thou wilt, I’ll not repine,
For as the branches to the vine
My soul would cling to thee,
My soul would cling to thee,
My soul would cling to thee,
For as the branches to the vine
My soul would cling to thee.

3 Though far from home, fatigued, opprest,
Here have I found a place of rest;
An exile still, yet not unblest,
Because I cling to thee,
Because I cling to thee,
Because I cling to thee,
An exile still, yet not unblest,
Because I cling to thee.

4 What though the world deceitful prove,
And earthly friends and hopes remove;
With patient, uncomplaining love,
Still would I cling to thee,
Still would I cling to thee,
Still would I cling to thee,
With patient, uncomplaining love,
Still would I cling to thee.
