Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #6 (1913) Hymnal Title: Coronation Hymns First Line: Lay hold on the hope set before you Refrain First Line: Lay hold on eternal salvation Lyrics: 1 Lay hold on the hope set before you,
And let not a moment be lost,
The Savior has purchased your ransom,
But think what a price it hath cost!
Chorus:
Lay hold on eternal salvation,
Lay hold on the gift of God' only son;
Lay hold on His infinite mercy,
Lay hold on the Mighty One!
2 Lay hold on the hope set before you,
Of life that you now may receive,
If, gladly His mercy accepting,
You truly repent and believe. [Chorus]
3 Lay hold on the hope set before you,
Of joy that no mortal can speak;
It telleth of rest fro the weary,
Thro' Jesus, the lowly and meek. [Chorus]
4 Lay hold on the hope set before you,
A hope that is steadfast and sure;
O haste to the blessed Redeemer,
The loving, the perfect and pure. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Lay hold on the hope set before you]
