I need Thee constantly;
I need Thy mercy for the past,
Thy grace to follow Thee.

I cling, I cling to Thee,
Dear Lord, alone to Thee;
Thyself reveal in pow’r to save;
Reveal Thyself to me.

In trials all severe;
Temptations close me so around,
With much of care and fear. [Refrain]

From sin to find a cure;
From condemnation set me free,
From all that may allure. [Refrain]
4 I cling, dear Lord, to Thee;
I feel so safe and strong
When in Thy smiles I may abide,
Though foes around me throng. [Refrain]
5 I cling, I cling to Thee
For pow’r to love Thee well,
To serve Thee with a purer heart,
Thy praises oft to tell. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I cling, dear Lord, to Thee]
