New English Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal
Hymn 600 HOLD FAST TILL I COME Lyrics
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.
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.
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.
