Verse 1

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus For my life is wholly bound to His. O how strange and divine, I can sing; all is mine! Yet not I, but thru Christ in me.
Verse 2
The night is dark, but I am not forsaken, For by my side, the Savior, He will stay. I labor on in weakness and rejoicing For in my need, His power is displayed. To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me Thru the deepest valley He will lead. O, the night has been won, and I shall overcome!
Verse 3

Verse 4
With ev’ry breath, I long to follow Jesus, For He has said that He will bring me home. And day by day, I know He will renew me Until I stand with joy before the throne. To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus, All the glory evermore to Him. When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat,
