Cling together; God our Father
 Will watch o'er us while we stay;
If we trust our loving Saviour,
 He will light our darken'd way.

Cling together, ere we vanish;
 One by one life's joys decay;
Those we love and fondly cherish—
 They should be so dear each day.

Cling together; God who keepeth
 Us in His everlasting care,
Will not leave, but ever loveth
 Us in this dark and drear despair.

Cling together; we'll hope on ever
 That love's sun may shine again;
Ere we leave this world forever
 Let love be ours while we remain.

Cling together; lift the sorrow
 Darkening round our pathway here;
There may be a brighter morrow,
 As heavenly hope is drawing near.

Cling together; lift the shadow,—
 Let it be our earnest prayer
That God may bring a brighter morrow
 Ere we're lost in dark despair.
