As I wander through this pilgrim land There is a friend who walks with me Leads me safely through the sinking sand it is the Christ of Calvary This would be my prayer 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 Jesus hold my hand I need thee every hour Through this pilgrim land protect me by thy power Hear my feeble plea oh Lord look down on me When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there Blessed Jesus hold my hand 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 When I wander through 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
