Lay Hold On the Promise

Author: H. L. Hymnal: Gospel Gems Number 1 #18 (1914) First Line: There's a word of cheer for each fainting heart Refrain First Line: Lay hold on the promise and never let go Lyrics: 1 There’s a word of cheer for each fainting heart, Lay hold on the promise divine; ‘Tis a wondrous word that can grace impart, Lay hold on the promise divine. Refrain: Lay hold on the promise and never let go, Lay hold on the promise secure; Tho’ heaven and earth pass away we know It evermore shall endure; Lay hold on the promise and never let go, Lay hold on the promise divine; It will stand the test, on it you may rest, Lay hold on the promise divine. 2 He will never leave nor forsake thy soul, Lay hold on the promise divine; Ev’ry anxious care on the Master roll, Lay hold on the promise divine. [Refrain] 3 Have the shadows hid all the way you’ve trod? Lay hold on the promise divine; Let you faith reach out to the word of God, Lay hold on the promise divine. [Refrain] 4 Ev’ry doubt and fear from your heart dispel, Lay hold on the promise divine; Ev’rywhere and always it will be well, Lay hold on the promise divine. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a word of cheer for each fainting heart]
