Lay Hold

By L. G. Culver

Tune—Stand up, stand up for Jesus

LAY hold, lay hold on Jesus; Lay hold upon His name; Lay hold on every promise, Surrender not your claim— Your claim to full salvation, Eternal life above, Unmeasured gift of mercy, Unmeasured gift of love.

Behold, behold His visage, Behold how strangely marred; His hands, His feet and body, Forever, ever scarred. Behold His love and mercy, Expressed in words but few: "O Father, forgive them; They know not what they do."

Through Christ must come each blessing, Each blessing unto all; The rain and light from heaven That still on us do fall. Yes, manna still is falling, In rain-drops from above, The gift of God through Jesus, Twained gift of twofold love.

Get ready, O, get ready, Your Saviour to behold; Get ready for those mansions, Prepared for all His fold. Get ready, O, get ready; His coming draweth nigh; Soon will the saints of ages Be with their Lord on high.
