Con Tenio Stand Fast in the Lord

Con tenio means to hold together.
With the opposite, we fall apart.
Be steadfast despite the weather
Lest a storm enter inside your heart.

Let the storm pass to breeze on by
For the Lord is ever at hand
Look on to what you can't deny
That in Him, con tenio, you stand

The Latin words con (with) tenio - (to hold together).
