Hold Fast Till I Come | by F. E. Belden

Hi, what are you doing to prepare for the return of our Savior? Do you have your lamps full of oil, awaiting the sudden appearance of the Lord? The Bible says He will come for His Church, not the building, but those who have put their faith in Him and have their names written in the Lamb's Book of Life. The one thing that the Bible does not say is "when." So be ready and come quickly, Lord Jesus!
Hold Fast Till I Come was written by F. E. Belden in 1886. Here are the lyrics:
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.”
Refrain
“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.”
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. [Refrain]
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.” [Refrain]

Hi, Sincominkosi, beloved sister in the Lord! It’s amazing that the Father is our true parent. Well according to the Bible, we are really cousins through Noah. So let’s keep plenty of oil for our lamps till He comes. God bless!
