Sheet music

  1. 1I am clinging to the Rock, blessed saving Rock,While the angry storms may o'er me roll;I am sheltered 'neath the cleft from the tempest's shock,Blessed Refuge to my weary soul.I am clinging, clinging, clinging to the Rock;(I am clinging, ever clinging, I am)Blessed Refuge, Thou art dear to me;I am clinging, clinging, clinging to the Rock;(I am clinging, ever clinging, I am)Blessed Savior, I will cling to Thee.
  2. 2I am clinging to the Rock, blessed Rock of Faith,There I see my Savior's loving form;I am looking unto Him while my fleeting breathWaits His praises thro' the piercing storm.I am clinging, clinging, clinging to the Rock;(I am clinging, ever clinging, I am)Blessed Refuge, Thou art dear to me;I am clinging, clinging, clinging to the Rock;(I am clinging, ever clinging, I am)Blessed Savior, I will cling to Thee.
  3. 3I am clinging to the Rock, blessed Rock of Hope,Keeping near the Savior's bleeding side;I am anchored to the Rock that was cleft for me,Near the fountain of the crimson tide.I am clinging, clinging, clinging to the Rock;(I am clinging, ever clinging, I am)Blessed Refuge, Thou art dear to me;I am clinging, clinging, clinging to the Rock;(I am clinging, ever clinging, I am)Blessed Savior, I will cling to Thee.
  4. 4I am clinging to the rock, blessed Rock of Love,Let me, Lord, upon Thy bosom rest;I am waiting for the time to be called above,With the ransomed there forever blest.I am clinging, clinging, clinging to the Rock;(I am clinging, ever clinging, I am)Blessed Refuge, Thou art dear to me;I am clinging, clinging, clinging to the Rock;(I am clinging, ever clinging, I am)Blessed Savior, I will cling to Thee.
