Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One ‎#17

17. Hold On to the Promises

Have you faith in Christ, my brother,
Are you trusting day by day?
Do your footsteps falter, do you almost fall?
Hold on to the promises and pray.

Chorus:
Hold on to the promises of God,
Hold on to the promises of God;
Do your footsteps falter, do you almost fall?
Hold on to the promises of God.

Does the path seem dark, my brother,
Have you felt sin’s chast’ning rod?
Are you often fearful lest you lost the way?
Hold on to the promises of God.

When the hosts of sin are gath’ring,
And you hear no cheering word,
Tho’ the threat’ning army camp about your soul,
Hold on to the promise of the Lord.

Have your labors prospered, brother,
Have you rich and bounteous store?
Lest the golden treasures rob you of your crown,
Hold on to the promise more and more.
