    Notes 
    • The following verse is found in the Cooper family Bible. Its origin is unknown and there are no matching internet searches.

      It may even be that Eleanor wrote this herself, or else recalled the verse from her childhood back in Wales.

      Whatever the truth, it is the prayer of someone who loved Jesus.


      Hold Thou Me Up

      Hold thou me up whenever the way is hidden

      And clouds hang darkly in the sky above

      When wild misgivings come to me unbidden

      O Father hold me closely in thy love

      Hold thou me up, when my weak heart is failing

      Before the troubles of the way I take

      Make me to feel that thou will all prevailing

      That thou wilt succour me for Jesus sake

      Hold thou me up under each new temptation

      Lest I should fall beneath is subtle power

      You, who art ever near, be my salvation

      My rock, my fortress, in the trying hour

      Hold thou me up till I in death and sleeping

      Till I am far from danger, safe and free

      In that fair land, where in thy gracious keeping

      And I for evermore with thee.
