The Great Awakening ‎#56

56. Clinging Close to Jesus

1 Are you clinging, clinging close to Jesus
With the steadfast hand of love?
Treading ever, ever in His footsteps,
To the heav’nly home above.

Refrain:
Clinging close to Jesus,
Clinging to His hand;
He will surely lead you
To the promised land.

2 Do you trust Him, trust Him on the mountain,
As upon thy Galilee?
Knowing, knowing that whate’er He sendeth
Surely is the best for thee. [Refrain]

3 Art thou clinging, clinging close to Jesus?
In His home thou shalt abide;
Thou shalt see Him, see Him in His glory,
There thou shalt be satisfied. [Refrain]
