Bible Verse
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
Revelation 22:20

“Sweet Promise Is Given (Hold Fast Till I Come)” is an Advent hope hymn written and composed by Franklin Edson Belden (F. E. Belden), one of the most influential hymn writers of the early Seventh-day Adventist movement. The hymn centers on Christ’s sure promise of His soon return and calls believers to remain faithful, watchful, and steadfast until that day. Its message blends assurance with responsibility, reminding Christians that waiting for Christ involves active faith and perseverance.

This Hiligaynon version, Matam-is Saad sa Tomoloo, beautifully reflects the same Advent message. The lyrics echo Christ’s promise to come quickly, urging believers to strengthen their faith, keep their lamps burning, and remain ready. Each verse emphasizes vigilance, prayer, and hope rooted in God’s Word. Sung with conviction, this hymn continues to inspire trust, endurance, and joyful anticipation of Christ’s glorious return.

[Verse 1]
Matam-is saad sa tomoloo,
“Sa labi ka dali maabut Ako,
Pangalig-on kay Ako maabut,
Pagbantay, paghulat indi pagtolok.”

[Chorus]
“Pangalig-on kay Ako maabut,
Ginhari-an sa imo ihatag,
Pagsulud ka sa Akon kalipay,
Purungpurung sa imo nagahulat.”

[Verse 2]
Pangamuyo ka sa nagahulat,
Ang suga nimo dapat magbanaag.
Iyang pagkari subong makawat,
Pagpulaw ka basi ikaw malipat.

[Chorus]
“Pangalig-on kay Ako maabut,
Ginhari-an sa imo ihatag,
Pagsulud ka sa Akon kalipay,
Purungpurung sa imo nagahulat.”

[Verse 3]
Ining paglaum yara sa polong,
Pagkari Niya nga mahimayaon,
Iya ginsaad gid sa matutum,
“Madali’ng pagkari Ko, pangalig-on.”

[Chorus]
“Pangalig-on kay Ako maabut,
Ginhari-an sa imo ihatag,
Pagsulud ka sa Akon kalipay,
Purungpurung sa imo nagahulat.”
