This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  When I fear my faith will fail,

       Christ will hold me fast;

    When the tempter would prevail,

       He can hold me fast.

 

   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.

 

   He will hold me fast,

   He will hold me fast;

For my Savior loves me so,

   He will 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.

 

   He will hold me fast,

   He will hold me fast;

For my Savior loves me so,

   He will hold me fast.

 

 4  He'll not let my soul be lost,

       Christ will hold me fast;

    Bought by Him at such as cost,

       He will hold me fast.

 

   He will hold me fast,

   He will hold me fast;

For my Savior loves me so,

   He will hold me fast.
