93. Hold On a Little Longer

1 O don’t give up the struggle,
And from the way depart;
There’s vict’ry just beyond you,
If only you keep heart.

Refrain:
Hold on, hold on,
Hold on a little while longer,
Beyond the hills Jehovah lies,
And by His grace you’ll win the race;
Hold on, hold on,
Hold on a little while longer.

2 O don’t lose faith in Jesus,
But cling to Him in pray’r;
He holds your every int’rest,
With wondrous love and care. [Refrain]

3 O pilgrim, don’t get weary,
And count the way too long;
But press a little further
And join the ransomed throng. [Refrain]
