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

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

Verse 2

Let me travel in the light divine

That I may see the blessed way

Keep me that I may be wholly Thine

And sing redemption's song someday

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
