Christian Hymns ‎#162

162. Clasp My Hand in Thine

1 When chilly shadows quickly fall,
And darkness seems to cover all,
Dear Savior hear my pleading call,
And clasp my hand, O clasp my hand in Thine.

Chorus:
O clasp my hand in Thine,
O clasp my hand in Thine;
Hear Thou my prayer and grant Thy care,
And clasp my hand, O clasp my hand in Thine.

2 When tempted from the narrow way,
When in forbidden paths I stray,
In sadness, turning back, I say:
Lord, clasp my hand, O clasp my hand in Thine. [Chorus]

3 O closer, closer, hold my hand,
And lead me to the summer land,
Where I may in Thy presence stand,
And clasp my hand, O clasp my hand in Thine. [Chorus]
