CLING TOGETHER.
Cling together, you and I,—Death will part us by and by: 'Tis not well that bitter strife Should darken all the joys of life.
Cling together; while we stay Let us for each other pray All the griefs that rend the heart From us forever may depart.
Cling together; then from home We shall never wish to roam, To find in other lands a rest, United here we'll be so blest.
Cling together; soon we'll pass Unto another life, alas! Then let true love illume our way,And cheer our hearts on each dark day.
Cling together; life is short. Heart's true love can ne'er be bought,'Tis a jewel bright and rare,—Shining gold can not compare.
Cling together; let us try To live true lives as years roll by. Let not this short and weary life Be ever spent in bitter strife.
Cling together; we'll ask of God, Ere we sleep beneath the sod; None but He can heal our grief,—Only God can bring relief.
Cling together while we live,—So that God to us may give A peaceful life until we flee To a happier home in eternity.
Cling together; hearts with love Will unite in heaven above: For this we hope—for this we pray, To meet again at the Great Day.
Cling together, though dark shadows Lower around our pathway here; There may be a brighter morrow And every cloud shall disappear.
Cling together; we'll hope on ever That true love's sun may shine again; Ere our ties on earth we sever Let each the other's love regain.
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.
Cling together; let love forever Unite us here, though short our stay. Without true love our lives are ever A dreary and a darken 'd day.
Cling together; each a mission God doth give us to perform. We'll bow to Him in meek submission, And ask release from this dark storm.
Cling together; perhaps to-morrow All dark clouds will disappear. 'Mid this load of heartfelt sorrow We may see our way more clear.
Cling together; God's mysteries never Can we solve while here we stay; But when we pass from earth forever, All in Heaven will be bright as day.
