10477. I Am Clinging To The Rock

1 I am clinging to the Rock, blessèd saving Rock,
While the angry storms may o’er me roll;
I am sheltered ’neath the cleft from the tempest’s shock,
Blessèd refuge to my weary soul.

Refrain:
I am clinging, ever clinging,
I am clinging to the Rock;
Blessèd refuge, thou art dear to me;
I am clinging, ever clinging,
I am clinging to the Rock,
Blessèd Savior, I will cling to Thee.

2 I am clinging to the Rock, blessèd rock of faith,
There I see my Savior’s loving form;
I am looking unto Him while my fleeting breath
Waits His praises thro’ the piercing storm. [Refrain]

3 I am clinging to the Rock, blessèd rock of hope,
Keeping near the Savior’s bleeding side;
I am anchored to the Rock that was cleft for me,
Near the fountain of the crimson tide. [Refrain]

4 I am clinging to the Rock, blessèd rock of love,
Let me, Lord upon Thy bosom rest;
I am waiting for the time to be called above,
With the ransomed there forever blest. [Refrain]
