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.
