Hold Out Your Hand

Hold out your hand in the dark­ness of sin

Help some poor sad heart the hav­en to win

Cheer up some soul with a friend’s kind­ly touch.

And help all you can

be it lit­tle or much.

Hold out your hand

hold out your hand

And bid their hearts be strong;

Hold out your hand

hold out your hand

And help the world along.

Hold out your hand

for the world is a way

Made up of sad­ness and sor­row each day;

Smiles are a help to the suf­fer­ing heart

To laugh at its sad­ness and make it de­part.

Hold out your hand

then

wher­ev­er you are.

Kind deeds will shine thro’ the dark­ness afar;

Some sink­ing soul may its twink­ling dis­cern

Oh

come to the hav­en and right­eous­ness learn.
