Hold Fast Til I Come

Oh, spirit, o'erwhelmed by thy failures and fears,
Look up to thy Lord, tho' with trembling and tears;
Weak Faith, to thy call seem the heav'ns only dumb?
To thee is the message, "Hold fast till I come."

Hold fast till I come, hold fast till I come,
A bright crown awaits thee; Hold fast till I come.

Hold fast when the world would allure thee to sin;
Hold fast when the tempter assails from within;
In sunshine or sadness, in gain or in loss,
To falter were madness; oh, cling to the cross.

Hold fast till I come, hold fast till I come,
A bright crown awaits thee; Hold fast till I come.

Thy Savior is coming in tenderest love,
To make up His jewels and bear them above:
Oh, child, in thing anguish, despairing or dumb,
Remember the message, "Hold fast till I come."

Hold fast till I come, hold fast till I come,
A bright crown awaits thee; Hold fast till I come.
