227. Clinging to Jesus, Alone

1 Clinging to Jesus alone is sweet;
Jesus alone! Jesus alone!
Wisdom I learn at the Master’s feet,
Clinging to Jesus alone.

Refrain:
Glory and honor, and love untold,
Ever shall be my won;
When I am walking the streets of gold,
Clinging to Jesus alone.

2 Worldly alliances I resign,
Jesus alone! Jesus alone!
Pleasures of folly cannot be mine;
Clinging to Jesus alone. [Refrain]

3 Following Jesus I know is best;
Jesus alone! Jesus alone!
Toiling assureth eternal rest,
Clinging to Jesus alone. [Refrain]

4 Humbly I keep in the path He trod;
Jesus alone! Jesus alone!
Walking with Jesus I walk with God,
Clinging to Jesus alone. [Refrain]

5 Life will be sweeter by far than now,
Jesus alone! Jesus alone!
When immortality crowns my brow;
Clinging to Jesus alone. [Refrain]
