My heart is cling­ing to Christ, my Sav­ior,
He ever keeps me in His sweet fa­vor;
The way grows bright­er, my bur­dens light­er,
For Je­sus is for ev­er­more my Lord and king.

Refrain

My heart is cling­ing, my soul is sing­ing,
Glad hal­le­lu­jahs to my Sav­ior’s name I bring;
I am abid­ing, in Him con­fid­ing;
For Je­sus is for ev­er­more my Lord and king.

When sha­dows ga­ther, His grace re­ceiv­ing,
’Tis sweet to trust Him, His word be­liev­ing;
My bur­dens bear­ing, my sor­rows shar­ing,
For Je­sus is for ev­er­more my Lord and king.

Refrain

In yon­der man­sions for­ev­er dwell­ing,
Thro’ end­less ag­es the chor­us swell­ing;
Ever in glo­ry, I’ll sing the sto­ry,
For Je­sus is for ev­er­more my Lord and king.
