183. Hold Fast Till I Come.
Sweet promise is giv’vn to all who believe, “Behold I come quickly, mine own to receive; Hold fast till I come; the danger is great;**Sleep not as do others; be watchful, and wait.”
CHORUS “Hold fast till I come,” sweet promise of heav’n,“The kingdom restored, to you shall be giv’n,” “Come, enter my joy, sit down on my throne;Bright crowns are in waiting; Hold fast till I come
We’ll “watch unto pray’r” with lamps burning bright; He comes to all others a thief in the night. We know he is near, but know not the day,** As spring shows that summer is not far away.
Yes! This is our hope, ‘tis built on His word,The glorious appearing of Jesus, our Lord; Of promises all, it stands as the sum; **“Behold I come quickly, hold fast till come.”
