11 Jesus Hold My Hand

As I travel through this pilgrim land,
there is a Friend who walks with me.
(Oh yes He) Leads me safely through the sinking sand,
it is the Christ of Calvary;
This would be my prayer, dear Lord, each day
to help me do the best I can,
for I need Thy light to guide me day and night,
blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

Let me travel in the light divine
that I may see the blessed way;
(O Lord) keep me that I may be wholly Thine
and sing redemption’s song some day;
I will be a soldier brave and true
and ever firmly take a stand,
as I onward go and daily meet the foe,
blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

When I wander through the valley dim
toward the setting of the sun,
(O Lord) lead me safely to a land of rest
if I a crown of life have won;
I have put my faith in Thee, dear Lord,
that I may reach the golden strand,
there’s no other friend on whom I can depend,
blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

(1st) Chorus:
Jesus, hold my hand, I need Thee ev’ry hour,
through this pilgrim land, protect me by Thy power;
Hear my feeble plea, O Lord, look down on me,
when I kneel in prayer, I hope to meet You there,
blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

2nd Chorus:
Jesus, hold my hand, I need Thee ev’ry hour,
through this pilgrim land, protect me by Thy power.
I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour,
blessed Jesus, hold my hand,
blessed Jesus, hold my hand!
