When I fear my faith will fail
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail
He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path
For my love is often cold
He must hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Saviour loves me so
He will hold me fast
Those He saves are His delight
Christ will hold me fast
Precious in His holy sight
He will hold me fast
He'll not let my soul be lost
His promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Saviour loves me so
He will hold me fast
For my life He bled and died
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied
He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life
He will hold me fast
Till our faith is turned to sight
When he comes at last
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Saviour loves me so
He will hold me fast

'Great is Thy faithfulness', O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou for ever wilt be.
'Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!'
Morning by morning new mercies I see!
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided -
'Great is Thy faithfulness', Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all Nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
'Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!'
Morning by morning new mercies I see!
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided -
'Great is Thy faithfulness', Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
'Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!'
Morning by morning new mercies I see!
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided -

In my wrestling and in my doubts
In my failures You won't walk out
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea
In the silence You won't let go
In the questions Your truth will hold
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea
My lighthouse, my lighthouse
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You
My lighthouse, my lighthouse
I will trust the promise, You will carry me
Safe to shore, safe to shore
Safe to shore, safe to shore
I won't fear what tomorrow brings
With each morning I'll rise and sing
My God's love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea
My lighthouse, my lighthouse
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You
My lighthouse, my lighthouse
I will trust the promise, You will carry me
Safe to shore, safe to shore
Safe to shore, safe to shore

There is strength within the sorrow,
There is beauty in our tears.
And You meet us in our mourning
With a love that casts out fear.
You are working in our waiting,
You're sanctifying us.
When beyond our understanding,
You're teaching us to trust.
Your plans are still to prosper,
You have not forgotten us.
You're with us in the fire and the flood.
You're faithful forever,
Perfect in love.
You are sovereign over us.
You are wisdom unimagined,
Who could understand Your ways?
Reigning high above the heavens,
Reaching down in endless grace.
You're the lifter of the lowly,
Compassionate and kind.
You surround and You uphold me,
And Your promises are my delight.
Your plans are still to prosper,
You have not forgotten us.
You're with us in the fire and the flood.
You're faithful forever,
Perfect in love.
You are sovereign over us.
(x2)
Even what the enemy means for evil,
You turn it for our good,
You turn it for our good and for Your glory.
Even in the valley You are faithful.
You're working for our good,
You're working for our good and for Your glory.
(Repeat)
Your plans are still to prosper,
You have not forgotten us.
You're with us in the fire and the flood.
You're faithful forever,
Perfect in love.
You are sovereign over us.
...You're faithful forever,
Perfect in love.
You are sovereign over us.
Lord be my vision, O Lord of my heart
Nought be all else to me, save that You are.
You, my best thought in the day and the night,
Waking or sleeping, Your presence my light.
Lord be my wisdom, and be my true word,
I ever with You, and You with me, Lord.
You my great Father and I Your true son,
You in me dwelling, and I with You one.
Lord be my breastplate, my sword for the fight,
Lord be my armour and Lord be my might.
Be my soul shelter, and You my high tow'r,
Lord raise me heavenwards, O power of my power.
Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise,
You're my inheritance all of my days.
You and You only, You first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure You are.
High King of heaven, when battle is done
Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven's sun.
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, oh ruler of all.
