Lyrics

Verse 1

Once from my poor sinsick soul

Christ did every burden roll,

Now I walk redeemed and whole,

Hand in hand with Jesus.

Verse 2

In my night of dark despair,

Jesus heard and answered prayer,

Now I'm walking free as air,

Hand in hand with Jesus.

Verse 3

When the stars are backward rolled

And his home I shall behold

I will walk the street of gold,

Hand in hand with Jesus.

Chorus

Hand in hand we walk each day,

Hand in hand along the way;

Walking thus I will not stray,

Hand in hand with Jesus.
