Hold fast to the old fash­ioned Gos­pel,
New tho’t may be well in its way,
But give me the dear Ho­ly Bi­ble,
A guide that will ne’er lead astray.

Refrain

Hold fast, hold fast,
The Word of our God tried and true;
Hold fast to the old fash­ioned Gos­pel,
Whose pag­es will ev­er be new.

The Word that our fa­thers have cher­ished,
Whose pre­cepts brought com­fort and cheer,
The Gos­pel that liv­ing or dying,
Brings God and His Heav­en so near.

Refrain

Hold fast to the old fash­ioned Gos­pel,
Thro’ ag­es it still is the same,
A mes­sage of per­fect sal­va­tion,
To all who believe in His name.
