O soul, tossed on the billows, Afar from friendly land, Look up to Him who holds thee In " the hollow of His hand."
In the hollow of His hand ! In the hollow of His hand !---- Oh, how safe are all who trust Him, In the hollow of His hand !
2. Though raging winds may drive thee A wreck upon the strand, Still cling to Him who holds thee In " the hollow of His hand."
3. When strength is spent in toiling, And wearily you stand, Then rest in Him who holds thee In " the hollow of His hand."
4. When by the swelling Jordan, Your feet in sinking sand, Remember still He holds thee In " the hollow of His hand."
5. And when at last we're gathered With all the ransomed band, We'll praise our God who holds us In " the hollow of His hand."
