Hand in hand with Je­sus
I have prayed that I might go,
Whether in the wil­derness
Or up the lone­ly height,
Only that ’mid joy or grief
His ten­der clasp I know,
And that close to Him I keep
In dark­ness or in light.

Refrain

Hand in hand with Thee, dear Sav­ior,
Let me go hand in hand.
Guide me thro’ earth’s wil­der­ness,
Safe, safe to glo­ry land.

Hand in hand with Je­sus—
Then my feet shall ne­ver stray
From the path that lead­eth out
Of val­leys dark and dim,
Where temp­ta­tions lie in wait
To turn me from the way;
Safe am I from all as­sail­ments
If I walk with Him.

Refrain

Hand in hand with Thee, dear Sav­ior,
Let me walk, I pray;
Hold me fast, lest I should stum­ble,
Keep me, lest I fall;
Fullest joy and bless­ing
Theirs who Thy dear hand ob­ey;
Led by Thee death’s sha­dow, ev­en
Shall not me ap­pall.

Refrain
