15. Held By His Hand

1 My heart knows no anxious day,
Held by His hand!
For I’m in the heav’nward way,
Held by His hand.

Refrain:
Held by my Father’s hand,
Held by His mighty hand;
Why should I fear when my Father is near,
And I’m held by His hand!

2 Doubt and fear are conquered foes,
Held by His hand!
Nothing can my way oppose,
Held by His hand. [Refrain]

3 I have strength for every hour,
Held by His hand!
I can feel His keeping pow’r,
Held by His hand. [Refrain]

4 How my happy heart can sing,
Held by His hand!
I’m an heir of Christ my King,
Held by His hand. [Refrain]
