Let Me Cling To Thee

by Fanny J. Crosby

Jesus, let me cling to thee,
Show thy mercy now to me;
I am lonely, weak, oppressed;
I am weary, give me rest.

Should I wander from thy side,
Thou, my ever faithful guide,
Wilt restore me to the right,
And in darkness grant me light.

Thou wilt hear my soul's complaint,
Thou wilt cheer me when I faint,
Thou hast suffered death for me,
Jesus, let me cling to thee.

Fold me in thy arms of love,
Give me comfort from above;
May thy Spirit's gentle power
Save and keep me hour by hour.

Chorus

In the healing fount divine
Cleanse my heart and seal me thine;
Thine forever would I be—
Jesus, let me cling to thee.
