Hold Fast Till I Come

Verse 1

Sweet promise is given 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 heaven– “The kingdom restored, to you shall be given.” “Come, enter My joy, sit down on the throne; Bright crowns are in waiting; hold fast till I come.”

Verse 2

We’ll “watch unto prayer” 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.

Verse 3

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 I come.”
