24. Cling to the Rock

1 Cling like the ivy, to the living Rock,
Safe in the darkness and the tempest shock;
Clinging more closely by the life of prayer,
Jesus will keep you in His mighty care.

Refrain:
Clinging to the living Rock,
Clinging to the living Rock,
Clinging while we serve Him more,
Clinging till safe on yonder shore.

2 Clinging to Jesus, while the days unfold,
Let nothing more us from our happy hold;
Trusting and praying, whether sun or rain;
All other refuge but in Him is vain. [Refrain]

3 Clinging to Jesus, like the ivy vine,
Faith’s growing tendrils will around Him twine;
Trusting and helping others, as we cling,
Wayfarers to the Rock of Ages bring. [Refrain]
