"In Jesus' Hand"

A hymn (in common meter) written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns.

"In Jesus' Hand"

1. The Saints, whom God the Father lov'd,
Are plac'd in Jesus' hand:
From thence they cannot be remov'd:
For by his grace they stand.

2. In Jesus' hand their cause was laid;
He bore their pond'rous load:
'Tis by his hand their debts are paid,
And ev'ry gift bestowed.

3. In Jesus' hand they dwell secure,
And there they often prove,
The sweetness of those joys most pure,
Which flow from sov'reign love.

4. In Jesus' hand I'm well preserv'd;
No foe can hurt me there;
And though I have his wrath deserv'd,
His hand delights to spare.

5. In Jesus' hand! O, pleasing thought!
Then Jesus is my guide;
With all his saints I shall be brought
To heav'n, and there abide.
