Cling to the Mighty One
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A Victorian-era Plymouth Brethren hymn calling believers to cling to Christ across his many attributes — mighty, holy, gracious, faithful, living, pardoning, bleeding, risen, and reigning — especially in times of grief, pain, and woe. Its three stanzas move from suffering to redemption to eschatological hope.
Verse 1
Cling to the Mighty One,
Cling in thy grief;
Cling to the HOLY One,
He gives relief;
Cling to the GRACIOUS One,
Cling in thy pain;
Cling to the FAITHFUL One,
He will sustain.
Verse 2
Cling to the LIVING One,
Cling in thy woe;
Cling to the LOVING One
Through all below;
Cling to the PARD'NING One,
He speaketh peace;
Cling to the HEALING One,
Anguish shall cease.
Verse 3
Cling to the BLEEDING One,
Cling to His side;
Cling to the RISEN One,
In Him abide;
Cling to the COMING One,
Hope shall arise;
Cling to the REIGNING One
Joys lights thine eyes.
