Author: Ida L. Reed Hymnal: Light in the Valley #187 (1898) First Line: Do life's storms above thee roll? Lyrics: 1 Do life's storms above thee roll?
Closer cling to Jesus;
There is refuge for thy soul,
Closer cling to Jesus.
Nearer pressing to his side,
'Neath his wing securely hide,
Safely in his love abide
Closer cling to Jesus.
2 Are there griefs that bow thee low?
Closer cling to Jesus;
He thine ev'ry care doth know,
Closer cling to Jesus.
Do not stand apart and grieve,
At his feet thy burden leave;
Ask, and his strong help receive,
Closer cling to Jesus.
3 Are thy days full often drear?
Closer cling to Jesus;
He will give thee joy and cheer,
Closer cling to Jesus.
Trust him, love him, to him cling,
Crown him evermore thy King;
Gladness, peace and rest 'twill bring,
Closer cling to Jesus. Topics: Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [Do life's storms above thee roll?]
