I Hold His Hand

J. R. Baxter • English

I hold to the hand of my Savior and friend, He shields me from evil till dangers all end, He'll take me to heaven where voices now blend; I hold to the hand of my Lord.

Daily I hold to the scarred hand of my dear Lord, Savior and King, Till I am safe in that glad home, angels of God praises now sing; He leads me so gently where still waters flow And tells me of heaven where I long to go.

Daily I hold to the scarred hand of my dear Lord, Savior and King, Till I am safe in that glad home, angels of God praises now sing; He leads me so gently where still waters flow And tells me of heaven where I long to go.
