Only the steadfast wins the crown...

"Hold on, my heart, in your believing-
Only the steadfast wins the crown;
He who, when stormy winds are heaving,
Parts with his anchor, will go down;
Be he who Jesus holds through all,
Will stand, though Heaven and earth should fall.
Hold on! An end will come to sorrow;
Hope from the dust will conquering rise;
The storm foretells a summer's morrow;
The Cross points on to Paradise;
The Father reigns! So cease all doubt;
Hold on, my heart. Hold on, hold out".
