148—HE WILL HOLD ME FAST

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

Chorus

 He will hold me fast,
 He will hold me fast;
For my Saviour loves me so,
 He will hold me fast.

 I could never keep my hold,
  He must hold me fast:
 For my love is often cold,
  He must hold me fast.

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

 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.
