20. Cling to the Life-Line

1 Cling to the life-line: danger is near you,
Life’s surging billows around your roar;
Thro’ storm and tempest Jesus will bear you,
Safe to your home on the other shore.

Chorus:
Cling to the life-line,
Cling to the life-line,
Over the deep and stormy wave;
Cling to the life-line,
Cling to the life-line,
Jesus is near your soul to save.

2 Cling to the life-line: all else will fail you,
None can prevail ‘gainst the raging flood;
When wild the waves of sorrow assail you:
Cling to the life-line and trust in God. [Chorus]

3 Cling to the life-line: God will protect you
Tho’ fierce the seas of temptation roll;
Christ is your Pilot, He will direct you
Cling then with faith and a fearless soul. [Chorus]

4 Cling to the life-line: Christ will befriend you;
Fear not the winds nor the billows’ foam;
Aid to the helpless He will extend you
Till you shall reach your eternal home. [Chorus]
