251. In the Hollow of His Hand

1 Our God hath given promise--
And His grace for this hath planned;
His child shall rest securely
In the hollow of His hand.

Chorus:
Let come what may--or wave, or tempest--
"Peace, be still!" 'tis His command;
My soul is held in peace eternal
In the hollow of His hand.

2 O soul, be thou not troubled,
Tho' thou dost now understand;
No turmoil shall molest thee
In the hollow of His hand. (Chorus)

3 E'en tho' stern duty call thee,
And each day make full demand,
The soul may find its shelter
In the hollow of His hand. (Chorus)

4 The joy that passeth knowledge,
Peace that none can understand,
For thee, for thee are waiting
In the hollow of His hand. (Chorus)
