"In Jesus' Hand"

[KenH]

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

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

"In Jesus' Hand"

1. Ere time began, Jehovah saw
My ruin, by His righteous law;
His love, a full salvation plann'd,
Which plac'd my soul in Jesus' hand.

2. Oft have I wonder'd, I was found
Secure, with foes and fiends around;--
Now, I the secret understand,
I'm in th' almighty Saviour's hand.

3. No sinner ever perish'd there,
While clinging fast by faith and prayer;
Fiends may assault, and foes withstand,
But none can pluck from Jesus' hand.

4. Come, humble souls, assist my praise,
We shall not perish, Jesus says!
He'll bring us to the promis'd land,
For none can pluck us from His hand.
