Melodies of Love ‎#158

158. I Hold His Hand

1 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.

Refrain:
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.

2 I hold to His hand when the stormclouds arise,
He speaks and the shadows roll back from the skies,
'Tis wonderful glory for our human eyes;
I hold to the hand of my Lord. [Refrain]

3 I hold to the hand that is steadfast and sure,
No other foundation is ever secure,
I look for the home that will ever endure;
I hold to the hand of my Lord. [Refrain]
