1 Well, who could it be that tenderly holds my trembling hand,
And who is the one that speaks in a voice I understand,
And who could it be that maketh the raging storms to cease,
It's God's only Son, the Prince of Peace.

Refrain:
God's only Son (Yes, God's only Son)
Will hold my hand and answer my pray'r,
And God's only Son (Yes, God's only Son)
A mansion so grand has gone to prepare;
Thank God when I reach (Thank God when I reach)
That place where a haven of rest awaits,
That God's only Son (that God's only Son)
Will open the gates (will open the gates).

3 No matter how long thy wearisome pilgrimage may be,
No matter how wide or stormy life's raging waters be,
I'm bound for that place where all of God's faithful children go.
For God's only Son is with me I know. [Refrain]
