Lyics

CLING to the Mighty One,

Cling in thy grief;

Cling to the Holy One,

He gives relief;

Cling to the Gracious One,

Cling in thy pain;

Cling to the Faithful One,

He will sustain.



Cling to the Living One,

Cling in thy woe;

Cling to the Loving One

Through all below;

Cling to the Pardoning One,

He speaketh peace;

Cling to the Healing One,

Anguish shall cease.



Cling to the Bleeding One.

Cling to his side;

Cling to the Risen One,

In him abide;

Cling to the Coming One,

Hope shall arise;

Cling to the Reigning One,

Joy lights thine eyes.
