Let My Faith Take Hold On Thee

Let My Faith Take Hold On Thee

Fanny J. Crosby

[one of my favorite hymn writers]

Thou who knowest all my weakness,

thou whose eye my heart can see,

in my hour of deepest trial,

let my faith take hold on thee.

Faith that smiles when skies are frowning,

faith that mountains can remove,

faith that purifies by suffering,

calmly, sweetly works by love.

While I feel your presence with me,

while I feel your gracious hand,

gladly will I do your bidding,

only waiting your command.

Till the storms of life are over,

this my daily prayer shall be:

Lord, uphold me with your Spirit,

let my faith abide in thee.

chorus:

Firm and fearless may I ever tread the path designed for me;

and though thorns may sometimes pierce me,

let my faith take hold on thee.

Amen.
