When I fear my faith will fail
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail
He will hold me fastI could never keep my holdThrough life’s fearful path
For my love is often cold
He must hold me fastRefrainHe will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Saviour loves me so
He will hold me fastThose He saves are His delight
Christ will hold me fast
Precious in His holy sight
He will hold me fastHe’ll not let my soul be lostHis promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost
He will hold me fastRefrainFor my life He bled and died
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied
He will hold me fastRaised with Him to endless lifeHe will hold me fast
‘Til our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last!Refrain—vv. 1-2 Ada Habershon (1861-1918), Public Domain.Alt. words, new words (v.3) Matthew Merker © 2013 Getty Music (BMI)/Matthew Merker Music (BMI) (adm. by Music Services)
