Hymn 183

HOLD FAST TILL I COME

Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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.
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
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 come.”
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
