HOLD THOU MY HAND

 

1. Hold Thou my hand! So weak I am, and helpless,

I dare not take one step without Thy aid;

Hold Thou my hand! for then, O loving Saviour,

No dread of ill shall make my soul afraid.

 

2. Hold Thou my hand! and closer, closer draw me

To Thy dear self my hope, my joy, my all;

Hold Thou my hand, lest haply I should wander;

And missing Thee, my trembling feet should fall.

 

3. Hold Thou my hand! the way is dark before me

Without the sunlight of Thy face Divine;

But when by faith I catch its radiant glory,

What heights of joy, what rapturous songs are mine!

 

4. Hold Thou my hand! that when I reach the margin

Of that lone river Thou didst cross for me.

A heav'nly light may flash along its waters,

And every wave like crystal bright shall be.
