The hand guiding me

Representative Text

1 As I travel on the pathway thro' this dreary vale below,
There's a gentle, loving hand guiding me;
Thro' temptations, onward, upward, t'ward that land to which I go,
There's a never failing hand guiding me.

Refrain:
Guiding me, Guiding me,
There's a gentle, loving hand guiding me;
Guiding me, Guiding me,
There's a never failing hand guiding me.

2 Many foes may be encountered who my faith seek to appall,
Still there's refuge in that hand guiding me;
Thro' my Captain, King Immanuel, I shall triumph over all,
By that all prevailing hand guiding me. [Refrain]

3 In the footsteps of my Saviour I would follow ev'ry day,
Sheltered by that careful hand guiding me;
Till transported over yonder where a mansion stands for aye,
Fashioned by that faithful hand guiding me. [Refrain]

4 To those nailscarr'd hands I'm clinging, going home with Christ to stay,
Where a crown of life mine own there shall be;
In that bright and holy city built in walls that ne'er decay,
By that everlasting hand guiding me. [Refrain]
