MY CONFIDENCE.

I HOLD thy truth, oh, Lord, within my heart, Thy law I love; I hold thy cross, and try to do my part My faith to prove; I hold thy promise, Lord, and daily pray, "My faith increase, That I may closer cleave to thee, the way, And have thy peace." Yet little joy my holding brings to me, Because I know That though my soul still trusting clings to thee, I may let go.
But I am held, oh, Lord, thou hast my hand, And thou art strong. Throughout my journey in this desert land, However long, Thou givest me support. I shall not fall. Though foes assail, And press me hard, over myself and all I shall prevail. Great joy thy presence and thy pledge affords, Because I know That thou wilt not—since thou hast given thy word— Of me let go.
