Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #610 (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen,
The faint, the weak, on Thee may lean;
Help me, throughout life's varying scene,
By faith to cling to Thee.
2 Blest with communion so divine,
Take what Thou wilt, shall I repine;
When as the branches to the vine,
My soul would cling to Thee?
3 What though the world deceitful prove,
And earthly friends and joys remove,
With patient, uncomplaining love,
Still would I cling to Thee.
4 Oft when I seem to tread alone
Some barren waste with thorns o'ergrown,
A voice of love in gentle tone
Whispers, "Still cling to me."
5 Though faith and hope may long be tried,
W ask not, need not aught beside;
How safe, how calm, how satisfied,
The souls that clings to Thee!
6 They fear not life's rough storm to brave,
Since Thou art near and strong to save,
Nor shudder e'en at death's dark wave,
Because they cling to Thee.
Amen. Topics: Parochial Missions; Faith; Submission Languages: English Tune Title: [O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen]
