The Hand of God Shall Hold You ============================== w&m: Marty Haugen, 1994 [Refrain] The hand of God shall hold you, the peace of God enfold you, the love that dreamed and formed you, still surrounds you here today; The light of God beside you, above, beneath, inside you, the light that shines to guide you home to the loving hand of God. [Verse 1] May God's light shine ever upon you, May you rest in the arms of God, May you dwell for evermore in communion with all the blessed. [Refrain] [Verse 2] May the angels lead you into paradise; May the martyrs come to welcome you and take you to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem. [Refrain]
