Thorne Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Hand in hand with Jesus Refrain First Line: Hand in hand with Thee, dear Savior Lyrics: 1 Hand in hand with Jesus I have prayed that I might go, Whether in the wilderness Or up the lonely height, Only that ’mid joy or grief His tender clasp I know, And that close to Him I keep In darkness or in light. Refrain: Hand in hand with Thee, dear Savior, Let me go hand in hand. Guide me thro’ earth’s wilderness, Safe, safe to glory land. 2 Hand in hand with Jesus— Then my feet shall never stray From the path that leadeth out Of valleys dark and dim, Where temptations lie in wait To turn me from the way; Safe am I from all assailments If I walk with Him. [Refrain] 3 Hand in hand with Thee, dear Savior, Let me walk, I pray; Hold me fast, lest I should stumble, Keep me, lest I fall; Fullest joy and blessing Theirs who Thy dear hand obey; Led by Thee death’s shadow, even Shall not me appall. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Hand in hand with Jesus] Text Sources: The Voice of Melody by Edmund S. Lorenz (Dayton: Lorenz, 1900)
