If the hybrid loses power driving will the gas engine keep it going?

It depends on the nature of the electrical system failure.
If the high voltage battery cannot charge, but the high voltage power bus is operational, the vehicle should continue to operate on gas power alone.
However, if the high voltage system itself is malfunctioning, the vehicle will likely fail completely in the immediate future. If a high voltage system warning appears while the vehicle is being driven, pull over immediately; the vehicle will lose power shortly and can lead to a dangerous situation.
Failures of both types are statistically very uncommon.
