Nothing else will save me ‘til my journeys end.
Lord Jesus, hold my hand.

Hear my prayer, Lord Jesus; I’m needing a friend,
One who’ll keep me, tell me when my hope all is gone.
Nothing else can . . . my journeys end.
Lord Jesus, hold my hand.

Jesus, . . . me
Sorrow . . . is gone.
. . . can save me ‘til my journeys end.
Lord Jesus, hold my hand.

. . . lies a-sleeping, though my pathway’s at hand,
Causing me to wonder while I feeling so strong,
. . . journeys end.
Lord Jesus, hold my hand.

Precious Jesus, see me; hold . . . my hand,
Sorrow . . . is gone
Nothing else can save me ‘til my journeys end . . .
Lord Jesus, hold my hand.
