1 I need a Hand to lead me thro’ the darkness,
For I am weak and helpless as a child;
And if alone I have to take my journey,
My feet must stumble on the mountains wild.
Chorus:
‘Tis all well! ‘Tis all well!
The Hand shall lead me thro’ the darkness!
‘Tis all well! ‘Tis all well!
I’ll praise our God in songs of gladness!
2 I need a Friend that leads my heart’s deep secrets,
That knows my sins, yet how I yearn for good
How soon I fall, how easily I’m tempted,
And yet that longs for Thee the most O God! [Chorus]
3 I need a place where such as I find welcome,
Where sinners poor as I can enter in;
Where stands the Fountain of the Love of Jesus,
To cleanse me from the pow’r and guilt of sin. [Chorus]
4 I need a Home where change can never enter;
I need a Land where weary souls can rest;
Where I shall meet the friends that went before me,
And death ne’er enter in its kingdom blest. [Chorus]
5 Where can I find a friend that never changes?
A perfect peace all free from earthly leav’n?
They both are one!—beyond the stars’ sweet shining!
There is no Friend but God, no Home but Heav’n! [Chorus]
