Representative Text

1 I have left all sin’s dominion,
I’ll obey Thy sweet command;
Keep me, Lord, with glad submission
In the hollow of Thy hand.

Refrain:
In the hollow of His hand,
In the hollow of His hand;
He will keep me from all danger
In the hollow of His hand.

2 When the cares of life beset me,
I will firm for Jesus stand;
He has promised to protect me
In the hollow of His hand. [Refrain]

3 Keep me on the road to heaven,
Let me join that happy band;
Shield me from all sinful leaven
In the hollow of His hand. [Refrain]

4 When I end my pilgrim journey,
When I reach the shining strand,
I will praise the Lord who kept me
In the hollow of His hand. [Refrain]
