1 

When I fear my faith will fail,

   Christ will hold me fast;

When the tempter would prevail,

   He can hold me fast.

 2 

I could never keep my hold,

   He will hold me fast;

For my love is often cold,

   He must hold me fast.

 3 

I am precious in His sight,

   He will hold me fast;

Those He saves are His delight,

   He will hold me fast.

 4 

He'll not let my soul be lost,

   Christ will hold me fast;

Bought by Him at such a cost,

   He will hold me fast.
