Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

Jesus Hold My Hand

Jesus Hold My Hand

As I travel thru this pilgrim land

There is a Friend who walks with me,

Leads me safely thru the sinking sand,

It is the Christ of Calvary;

This would be my pray'r, 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.

Chorus

Blessed Jesus, hold my hand,

Yes, I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Thru this land, this pilgrim land

(Protect me) by Thy saving pow'r;

Hear my plea, my feeble plea,

Lord, dear Lord, look down on me,

When I kneel in prayer, I hope to meet your there

Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

When I wander thru the valley dim

Toward the setting of the sun,

Lead me safely to a land of rest

If I a crown of life I’ve won;

Cause 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.
