The Holdfast by George Herbert Lyrics

I threatned to observe the strict decree
   Of my deare God with all my power and might:
    But I was told by one, It could not be;
Yet I might trust in God to be my light.
Then will I trust, said I, in him alone.
   Nay, ev'n to trust in him, was also his:
   We must confesse, that nothing is our own.
Then I confesse that he my succour is:
But to have nought is ours, not to confesse
   That we have nought. I stood amaz'd at this,
   Much troubled, till I heard a friend expresse,
That all things were more ours by being his:
   What Adam had, and forfeited for all,
   Christ keepeth now, who cannot fail or fall.
