HOLD ON---HOLD IN---HOLD OUT.
Hold on, my heart, in thy believing;
The steadfast only win the crown.
He who, when stormy waves are heaving,
Parts with his anchor, shall go down;
But he whom Jesus holds through all,
Shall stand, though heaven and earth should fall. Hold in thy murmurs, heaven arraigning!
The patient see God's loving face.
Who bear their burdens uncomplaining,
'Tis they that win the Father's grace.
He wounds himself who braves the rod,
And sets himself to fight with God. Hold out. There comes an end to sorrow,
Hope from the dust shall conquering rise;
The storm foretells a summer morrow;
The cross points on to Paradise.
The Father reigneth; cease all doubt;
Hold on, my heart, hold in, hold out.
