LYRICS
VERSE 1 (RUSSIAN)
Если грех меня страшит,
держит Он меня!
Вера в Бога победит:
держит Он меня.
Чтобы мне не потерять
вечного огня,
Должен Он меня держать.
Держит Он меня.

CHORUS (RUSSIAN)
Держит Он меня, держит Он меня.
Охраняя и любя, держит Он меня.

VERSE 2 (UKRAINIAN)
Тих, кого Він полюбив,
дорого купив:
Кров Свою за нас пролив -
вічно будем з Ним.
Душі наші стереже,
вірний Слову Він.
Святий, славний Божий Син,
нас тримає Він.

CHORUS (UKRAINIAN):
Ми в Його руках, ми в Його руках.
Люблячий Спаситель наш, Він тримає нас.

VERSE 3 (ENGLISH):
For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied,
He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast
Till our faith is turned to sight,
When he comes at last!

CHORUS (ENGLISH):
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.

ENGLISH LYRICS
When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold;
He must hold me fast.

He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.

Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in His holy sight,
He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost;
His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.

For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied,
He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast
Till our faith is turned to sight,
When he comes at last!

UKRAINIAN LYRICS
ін тримає нас (He Will Hold Me Fast)

Коли віру нанівець зводить власний страх,
Поруч буде мій Ісус, я - в Його руках.
Від спокус і зла в житті нам не утекты,
Та підтримку дасть мені мій Господь завжди.

Ми в Його руках, ми в Його руках.
Люблячий Спаситель наш, Він тримає нас.

Тих, кого Він полюбив, дорого купив:
Кров Свою за нас пролив - вічно будем з Ним.
Душі наші стереже, вірний Слову Він.
Святий, славний Божий Син, нас тримає Він.

Божий гнів на Себе взяв, за гріхи вмирав.
Він життя нове нам дав, коли з мертвих встав.
З вірою дійти кінця допоможе Він,
Щоб побачити Отця й жити в славі з Ним.

RUSSIAN LYRICS
ДЕРЖИТ ОН МЕНЯ (He Will Hold Me Fast)

Если грех меня страшит, держит Он меня!
Вера в Бога победит: держит Он меня.
Чтобы мне не потерять вечного огня,
Должен Он меня держать. Держит Он меня.

Держит Он меня, держит Он меня.
Охраняя и любя, держит Он меня.

В крепких, любящих руках держит Он меня,
Дорог я в Его глазах: держит Он меня.
Он не даст погибнуть мне, сохранит вполне.
Обещания храня, держит Он меня.

За меня страдал Христос, держит Он меня.
Наказание понес, держит Он меня.
Я воскресну к жизни с Ним — держит Он меня —
Знаю, буду Им храним до Благого Дня.

I wish I could tell you how hugely important this song has been to me. Both my parents died and my husband left me all in a time period of 6 months. I was battling crippling anxiety and fighting it and fighting God. Finally, I just told him, Lord if you want me to have anxiety, I'll have it. Just don't leave me. I felt his peace, and my life began to turn around.

[katyaandreevna]

I speak all three of these languages, and you have no idea the peace I felt listening to this. God is in control of all the places I love.
