Jesus, Hold My Hand - Bill Monroe

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 of Calvary

This would be my prayer dear Lord each day

To help me do the best I can

For I need the 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, O Lord, look down on me

Instrumental — Follow pattern of last two lines in Chorus*

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

Repeat Chorus

When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there

Blessed Jesus hold my hand
