You hold me by my right hand.
Psalm 73:23–24
Words: James Rowe, in Truth and Hope, by Alfred E. Helton et al. (Lenoir, North Carolina: Teachers’ Music Publishing, 1919), number 90.
Music: Eula Eastep (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Eastep (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Rowe,
The Redeemer dear now holds my hand,
And is walking by my side,
And until I reach the morning land,
He will be my faithful guide.
Refrain
I am His, bless His name,
His to praise and adore;
Love divine to proclaim,
I am His evermore!
Long outside the fold I grieved my Lord,
And was deaf to mercy’s plea,
But today I seek the great reward,
With His grace supporting me.
Refrain
I have wandered far, and tested sin,
Now I’m testing love divine,
And unbroken peace has been within,
Since the day I made Him mine.
Refrain
Soul in sin, look up, be saved today,
Trust the Friend who now is mine;
He will roll your burden all away,
And give peace and joy divine.
