HOLD THOU ME FAST by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: LORD JESUS, WHO WOULD THINK THAT I AM THINE
Last Line: THAT I AM THINE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
Lord Jesus, who would think that I am Thine?
Ah! who would think,
Who sees me ready to turn back or sink,
That Thou art mine?

I cannot hold thee fast though Thou art mine;
Hold Thou me fast,
So earth shall know at last and heaven at last
That I am Thine.
