576
I clasp the hand of Love divine,

1.I clasp the hand of Love divine,
I claim the gracious promise mine,
And add to His my countersign,
"I take"-"He undertakes."
I take Thee, blessed Lord,
I give myself to Thee,
And Thou, according to Thy word,
Dost undertake for me.
2.I could never keep my hold,
He will hold me fast;
For my love is often cold,
He must hold me fast.
3.I am precious in His sight,
He will hold me fast;
Those He saves are His delight,
He will hold me fast.
4.He'll not let my soul be lost,
Christ will hold me fast;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.
