Jesus Hold My Hand

Tom: G

G
As I wander through this pilgrim land
           C                     G
There is a friend who walks with me
                                                   A         A7   D D7
Leads me safely through the sinking sand it is the Christ of Calvary
G
This would be my prayer dear Lord each day
           C             G
To help me do the best I can
      C                 G
For I need thy light to guide me day and night
              D7      G
Blessed Jesus hold my hand


[Chorus]
                     C               G
Jesus hold my hand I need thee every hour
                             A       A7     D   D7
Through this pilgrim land protect me by thy power
G                      C                 G
Hear my feeble plea oh Lord look down on me
       C                 G
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
              D7      G
Blessed Jesus hold my hand


[Verse]
                                             C               G
Let me travel in the light divine that I may see the blessed way
                                              A          A7       D D7
Keep me that I may be wholly Thine and sing redemption's song someday
G                                           C             G
I will be a soldier brave and true and ever firmly take a stand
     C             G                                D7      G
As I onward go and daily meet the foe Blessed Jesus hold my hand


[Chorus]
                     C               G
Jesus hold my hand I need thee every hour
                             A       A7     D   D7
Through this pilgrim land protect me by thy power
G                      C                 G
Hear my feeble plea oh Lord look down on me
       C                 G
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
              D7      G
Blessed Jesus hold my hand


[Verse]
                                               C              G
When I wander through the valley dim toward the setting of the sun
                                        A        A7        D D7
Lead me safely to a land of rest if I a crown of life have won
G
I have put my faith in thee dear Lord
           C                G
That I may reach the golden strand
           C               G
There's no other friend on whom I can depend
              D7      G
Blessed Jesus hold my hand


[Chorus]
                     C               G
Jesus hold my hand I need thee every hour
                             A       A7     D   D7
Through this pilgrim land protect me by thy power
G                      C                 G
Hear my feeble plea oh Lord look down on me
       C                 G
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
              D7      G
Blessed Jesus hold my hand
       C                 G
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
              D7      G
Blessed Jesus hold my hand
