Cling to the cross is a chapter title from the book, "Bread from heaven: or,  Food for the soul," written by Reverand James Smith in 1857 and published in both Halifax and London, England. Smith repeats the phrase in an almost singsong manner throughout the chapter with a list of secular and spiritual reasons including, "CLING TO THE CROSS, though dullness and gloom settle on your soul."
