Wicked men…put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.
Acts 2:23
Words & Music: Baylus B. McKinney, in Harvest Hymns, edited by Robert H. Coleman (Dallas, Texas: Robert H. Coleman, 1924), number 46 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Have you failed in your plan of your storm-tossed life?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand;
Are you weary and worn from its toil and strife?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Refrain
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand,
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand;
He will keep to the end, He’s your dearest friend,
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Are you walking alone through the shadows dim?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand;
Christ will comfort your heart, put your trust in Him,
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Refrain
Would you follow the will of the risen Lord?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand;
Would you live in the light of His blessèd Word?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Refrain
Is your soul burdened down with its load of sin?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand;
Throw your heart open wide, let the Savior in,
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Refrain
