Lyrics

I am cling­ing to Je­sus, my won­der­ful friend,
Who has pro­mised to guide ev­en unto the end;
He will keep me, I know, al­ways hap­py and free,
And will al­ways be grow­ing more pre­cious to me.

Refrain

He will al­ways be pre­cious to me,
He will al­ways be pre­cious to me;
More and more I will cling,
More and more work and sing,
He will al­ways be pre­cious to me.

I will sing of His mer­cy and glo­ri­ous love,
Till I praise and adore Him with an­gels above;
And the world my great love for my Sav­ior shall see,
He will al­ways be grow­ing more pre­cious to me.

Refrain

In that beau­ti­ful coun­try of love and de­light,
Where the crown will be giv­en when faith ends in sight;
In my man­sion of glo­ry and rest by the sea
He will al­ways be grow­ing more pre­cious to me.
