Lyrics

My faith temp­ta­tion shall not move,
For Je­sus knows it all,
And holds me with His arm of love—
He will not let me fall.

Refrain

He will not let me fall,
He will not let me fall,
He is my strength, my hope, my all,
He will not let me fall.

When grief is more than I can bear—
To weak am I to call—
If I but lift my heart in pray­er,
He will not let me fall.

Refrain

Sometimes I fal­ter, filled with fear,
I can­not see at all,
His voice I ne­ver fail to hear—
I will not let thee fall.
