Songs of Matchless Love ‎#9

9. Clinging to Jesus, Alone

1 “Glory to Jesus!” my glad heart sings,
Jesus alone, Jesus alone;
Grace and salvation to me he brings,
And I am his chosen, his own.

Refrain:
I will sing praises to him I love;
Is he not all my own?
I will press on to the home above,
Clinging to Jesus alone.

2 He is my keeper from day to day,
Jesus alone, Jesus alone;
Held by his hand I shall never stray,
I’m clinging to Jesus alone. [Refrain]

3 He is my Star thro’ the gloomy night,
Jesus alone, Jesus alone;
And my chief Joy when the skies are bright;
I’m clinging to Jesus alone. [Refrain]

4 He is my Strength when temptations throng,
Jesus alone, Jesus alone;
And though the conflict be hard and long,
I’m clinging to Jesus alone. [Refrain]

5 All thro’ the journey my song shall be,
Jesus alone, Jesus alone;
Chanting life’s music to love’s sweet key,
And clinging to Jesus alone. [Refrain]
