Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
Let me travel in the light divine That I might see the blessed way; 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.
Verse 3
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 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.
Chorus
Jesus hold my hand, I need Thee ev'ry hour, Thru this pilgrim land, Protect me by Thy pow'r, Hear my feeble plea, O Lord, look down on me, When I kneel in pray'r I hope to meet you there, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
