I am clinging, clinging close to Thee ;
Let Thy precious blood, applied,
Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.
Every day, . . every hour, . .
Let me feel Thy cleansing power ;
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord, to Thee.
2 Through this changing world below.
Lead me gently, gently as I go ;
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,
I can never, never lose my way.
3 Let me love Thee more and more,
Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o'er;
Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world above.
