Representative Text

1 Are you tempted and tried each passing day?
Hold fast to the Saviour’s hand;
His feet hath trod all the thorny way,
Hold fast to the Saviour’s hand.

Chorus:
Hold fast to His hand, the Saviour’s precious hand,
Hold fast to the Saviour’s hand;
Never fear for His cause to bravely stand,
Hold fast to the Saviour’s hand.

2 Do you stumble along the toilsome way?
Hold fast to the Saviour’s hand,
He will keep you safe if you “watch and pray,”
Hold fast to the Saviour’s hand. [Chorus]

3 Do the dark clouds of grief around you spread?
Hold fast to the Saviour’s hand;
Thro’ the vale of shadows you shall be led,
Hold fast to the Saviour’s hand. [Chorus]
