I yet will cling to thee,

Hide thou thy face; yet, help in time of need,

I will not let thee go!

2 I will not let thee go; should I forsake my bliss?

No, Lord, thou’rt mine,

And I am thine:

Thee will I hold when all things else I miss;

Though dark and sad the night,

Joy cometh with thy light,

O thou my Sun; should I forsake my bliss?
