Hold Me Up by Henry Law Almighty Father, conscious of our own weakness, and trusting only in your grace and power, we beseech you this day to multiply your mercy upon us. We are going forth to tread on slippery ground. May you uphold us. Our march is through a land of which Satan is the prince. May you protect us. Snares at each turn await our steps. May you guide us. We look around and fear. We look up to you and take courage.
By your grace alone can we stand. If your grace should fail us, instantly we fall. Our earnest prayer is, hold me up, and I shall be safe.
to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you before his glorious presence, without fault and with great joy. To the only God our Saviour, be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore. Amen.
