20 Apr 10 - 11:17 AM (#2890645) Subject: Lyr Req: The Lord's Strong Hand Will Hold From: GUEST,Kate Richmond I keep looking for the complete words to the following hymn from which I only remember (or mis-remember!) the following fragments: The Lord's strong hand will hold Wherever I may be. That promise brighter shines than gold And all is well with me. Refrain: Therefore I thank my God, My help on every road I shall not lack for light or love Therefore I thank my God. Whatever is my share With that I'll do my best To see the sunshine everywhere And leave to Him the rest. Hoping this will ring a bell with someone. Thanks & blessings. KR |

I sang this in an elementary school chorus festival in L.A. in 1966. His Word my guide will prove My help on every road (?) I shall not want for light or love Therefore I thank my God. |

They are definitely correct. Not only is that the same song, but I also learned it in elementary school in LA in about 1960! Capistrano Ave School in Canoga Park. The chorus director was a tall inspirational woman whose name I think was Nancy Miller. Were you in the same school? What else can you remember? I would love to hear more. And thank you for this little trip down memory lane. |

If you follow the links, you might be able to find one of those books in a library near you. Interestingly, both of those books were published by Silver Burdett in 1953. |

The Lord's strong hand will hold Wherever I may be. That promise brighter shines than gold And all is well with me. Refrain: Therefore I trust my God (Our music teacher emphasized the "t" at the end of trust.) Been looking for this song for years so I'm glad to see a discussion about it. |

It's hard to believe that singing this kind of thing was once allowed in public school; nowadays the ACLU would throw a fit. |

I sang this song at A Leo Weil Elementary School in Pittsburgh, PA in the 1950’s. Thank you for adding a few more lines to those I remember. It’s no wonder we all remember the first line as in my thinking it is by far the most important. The Lord’s strong hand had held me for nearly 68 years. Whenever I need to feel that strong hand I hum the tune and the few lines I’ve remembered. Thank you all ???? |
