And proclaim to the world its story;
I will cling to the cross, for my hope is there,
And its banner shall be my glory.
Refrain:
I will cling to the cross till my work is done,
I will cling to the cross till the crown is won;
Cling to the cross, cling to the cross,
I will cling to the cross till my work is done,
Then rest in the fields of glory.
2 I will cling to the cross, my Redeemer’s cross,
When the storm and the winds are sweeping;
For I know that he looks from the heav’nly hills
And a watch o’er my soul is keeping. [Refrain]
3 I will turn to its light in the hour of death,
With a faith which will falter never,
Then at home with the blest, in my Father’s house,
Of the cross I will sing forever. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I will cling to the cross where I first found rest]
