TAKE MY HAND,

FATHER, take my hand. I reach and grope about for friendly aid. The way seems dark; I'm weak and am afraid To choose my path. Be thou my light, my guide; So shall I walk, and shall be satisfied. Father, take my hand.
Father, hold my hand. I'm toiling up a steep and rocky cliff; I dare not halt, nor backward turn; a whiff, A feather's weight, would send me down the wild Abyss below. Dear Father, hear thy child, And hold my hand.
Father, keep my hand. With thee I'm safe, O, do not let me go. I grasp, I clasp, mid conflicts here below; I dare not lose my hold life's journey through, Or till my Lord's appearing I shall view; Dear Father, keep my hand. —Sel.
