Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I travel through this pilgrim land
There is a friend who walks with me
Leads me safely through the sinking sand
It is the Christ at 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.

[Chorus]
Blessed Jesus hold my hand
Yes I need thee every hour
Through this land, this pilgrim land
Protect me by Thy saving power.

Hear my plea, my feeble plea
O Lord, dead Lord look down on me
When I kneel in prayer (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 some day

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.
