Representative Text

1 Cling to the Saviour, as ivy to the tree,
Cling to the Saviour, and He will strengthen thee;
He will sustain and protect from every harm,
Safely upholding with His almighty arm.

Refrain:
Cling to the Saviour, as ivy to the tree,
Cling to the Saviour and He will strengthen thee.

2 Cling to the Saviour, when earthly friends forsake,
Our Great Jehovah thy constant Refuge make;
In Him refreshment and consolation find,
Love and obey Him with all thy heart and mind. [Refrain]

3 Cling to the Saviour, take Jesus for thy Guide,
Then, undismayed, shalt thou stem the raging tide;
Let praise ascend when thy days are crowned with joy,
And, in distress, let His praise thy lips employ. [Refrain]
