Hold Up Your Hand for Jesus

Author: Theo. D. C. Miller, M.D. Hymnal: Songs of the New Life #93 (1883) First Line: A little child lay dying Refrain First Line: I want to tell you, Willie Lyrics: 1 A little child lay dying, With none to soothe his pain; No mother's face to cheer him, And give him smiles again; but one brave little fellow Crept slowly to his bed, And gazing on his comrade In soothing accents said: Refrain: I want to tell you, Willie, Of One who lives on high, Hold up your hand for Jesus, This night he passes by, Hold up your hand for Jesus, This night he passes by 2 "I want to speak of Jesus Before my eyes grow dim;" The poor boy gently whispered: "I never heard of him!" "But he is ever near you, And when this life is o'er, He'll take you up to heaven, Where pain can come no more." [Refrain] 3 "I could not ask a stranger This dying form to see, And One so good and noble Would never speak to me; I know not where to find him, If he would ease my pain; But tell me more of Jesus,— Oh, speak of him again!" [Refrain] 4 "Just ask for peace and quiet, for pleasure when you die; His love is ever near you,— This night he passes by; In hospital and palace His presence doth abide, And if you wish to see him Draw nearer to his side." [Refrain] 5 "The doctor says I'm dying, My eyes are growing dim; In pain I cannot linger,— How shall I speak to him?" "Hold up your hand for Jesus, And when he passes by, He'll take you in his bosom And bear you to the sky." [Refrain] 6 The little hand, so feeble, Went up, but fell again; Then twice he slowly raised it, but could not bear the pain; Then propped upon a pillow, With sad eyes opened wide, His hand went up for Jesus, And bright with smiles he died.
