He Will Hold Me Fast
V1
When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold,
through life’s fearful path
For my love is often cold,
He must hold me fast
CH
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast
V2
Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast
Precious in His holy sight,
He will hold me fast
He’ll not let my soul be lost,
His promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast
V3
For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied;
He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight,
when He comes at last!
