The New Christian Hymnal ‎#310

310. When I Fear My Faith Will Fail

1. When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me last;
When the tempter would prevail,
He can hold me fast...

Refrain:
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will 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... [Refrain]

3. I am precious in His sight,
He will hold me fast;
Those He saves are His delight,
He will hold me fast... [Refrain]

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... [Refrain]
