Cat. #1234 (MFH #852) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 26, 1971
VERSE 1
I stood in th night
With my head bowed low
In th darkness, black as th sea
And my heart was afraid
An' I cried, O Lord
Don't hide your face from me
CHORUS:
Hold my hand all th way
Ever hour, ever day
From here to th great unknown
Take my hand and let me stand
Where no one stands alone
VERSE 2
Like a change I may live
In a mansion so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this wide world
T'is worth than bein' alone
