Once from my poor sin-sick soul,
Christ did ev'ry burden roll;
Now I walk redeemed and whole,
Hand in hand with Jesus.

In my night of dark despair,
Jesus heard and answered prayer;
Now I'm walking free as air,
Hand in hand with Jesus.

When the stars are backward rolled,
And His home I shall behold;
I will walk those streets of gold,
Hand in hand with Jesus.

Walking thus, I cannot stray,
Hand in hand with Jesus.
Hand in hand we walk each day,
Hand in hand along the way;
