No matter how dark the night Or bitter the wind that blows One touch of the master's gentle hand and I am ready to go. I'll go anywhere with him Through tempest or sinking sand. As long as I feel the tender touch, the touch of His gentle hand. One touch of His gentle hand Means more than the world to me One touch of His gentle hand Will make every shadow flee. I'll not be afraid to go and bravely take my stand With courage and zeal as long as I feel, The touch of His gentle hand A touch of His gentle hand can strengthen the faintest heart. A touch of his tender hand divine new hope and love can impart. And so in His name I 'll go and whether on sea or land I never shall fail if I can feel the touch of His gentle hand Wherever I chance to be wherever my feet may roam I'll trust in the Lord's unchanging hand to lead me all the way home. And ever my prayer shall be, 'til safely at home I stand, That I can just feel His touch so real, the touch of His gentle hand
