Lyrics

In the hol­low of His hand He will hide me
When doubt and sin draw near,
Though no earth­ly friend may walk be­side me,
I rest se­cure from fear.

Refrain

I know what­e’er be­tide me,
His hand will safe­ly guide me,
His love will ev­er hide me
In the hol­low of His hand.

In the hol­low of His hand He will hide me
When the storm is on the deep,
And I know what­ev­er may be­tide me,
His vigil He will keep.

Refrain

In the hol­low of His hand He will hide me
When the storms of life sweep by,
To the har­bor safe He will guide me,
Where His bless­èd is­lands lie.
