Resist and lay aside ev’ry sin
Struggle and fight, grow in righteousness
Submit yourself to God’s discipline
That you might share in His holiness

Chorus
Fast, Fast, Hold fast
Hold fast to Jesus the Better One
Near, Near, Draw Near
Draw near to God through His only Son

God disciplines His daughters and sons
For our own good, with wisdom and love
Training is hard, but when it’s all done
We shall be changed, and see Him above
(Repeat Chorus)

So strive for peace and real holiness
Watch over each other lest we stray
Beware of the root of bitterness
Your birthright don’t lightly toss away
(Repeat Chorus)
