I’ve Found the Secret of Success

I’ve found the sec­ret of suc­cess

’Tis hold­ing

’tis hold­ing on;

The way to ev­ery bless­ed­ness

’Tis hold­ing

’tis hold­ing on;

Our war­fare may be hard and fierce

Oft Sa­tan’s ar­rows wound and pierce

But still we get more smiles than tears

By hold­ing on

by hold­ing on.

Have you your fight­ing just be­gun?

Keep hold­ing on

keep hold­ing on;

The hard­est bat­tles have been won

By hold­ing on

by hold­ing on.

Though you may meet with run­aways

Who mourn their weak­ness half their days

Yet you can gain eter­nal praise

By hold­ing on

by hold­ing on.

If full sal­va­tion you would gain

Keep hold­ing on

keep hold­ing on;

To con­quer sins that bring you pain

Keep hold­ing on

keep hold­ing on.

God loves to give the bet­ter part

Not un­to those who only start

But those who seek with all their heart

And then in faith keep hold­ing on.
