1 To our Savior we are clinging,
While his praise our souls are singing;
Joy to us his love is bringing
More and more each day.

Chorus:
More and more,
More and more,
Sing the blessed story o’er and o’er;—
More and more,
More and more,
God will bless us more and more.

2 When our little cares distress us,
And our enemies oppress us,
He is always near to bless us
With his precious love. [Chorus]

3 He will shelter us and hide us
When life’s heavy storms betide us;
he will comfort us and guide us
Till all storms are o’er. [Chorus]

4 Ev’ry day of life we prove him;
None can ever be above him;
We will serve him, praise him, love him,
Through eternity. [Chorus]
