Song 71

Hold Fast the Good News!

(1 Corinthians 15:2)

1. In service we must keep steadfast

As nears the final hour.

Like brothers let us labor on,

Depending on God’s pow’r.

The light of truth, how bright it shines,

And there is much to do.

Our work, indeed, is not in vain

—To us will joy accrue.

2. The resurrection hope for man

Can saddened hearts revive,

Helps them to faith unmovable.

From it they joy derive.

Believers in God’s promises

We ever want to be.

Stand firm, be strong, with steadfastness;

Press on to victory.

3. As we work hard, exert ourselves,

And strive to reach our goal,

May we seek good associates

That will upbuild the soul.

The good news fortifies our hope

Of Paradise restored.

Hence, to our God we do give thanks

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
