About this Hymn
We can hold firm to the promises of Psalm 121, that he who neither slumbers nor sleeps watches over and keeps us, both now and forevermore. Each night the God of heaven, in whom there is no darkness, is by our side. Amid our fears we can rest in the salvation and resurrection of the Lord and can rejoice that we will dwell forever in the city illuminated by his glory, with the Lamb as its lamp.
Lyrics
Verse 1
In the darkness God will keep me, he will stay and never sleep; in the darkness God is brighter, though the night is long and deep.
Chorus
All this day your hand has held me, God of heaven by my side; thank you, Father, for your goodness, you will hold me through the night.
Verse 2
In the shadows you are with me, and you know my ev'ry fear; in the shadows none can harm me, for the mighty King is here.
Verse 3
So I find my rest in Jesus, he who came to rescue me; Jesus saved me from the darkness, I will rise to life with him.
In the darkness God will keep me, he will stay and never sleep; in the darkness God is brighter, though the night is long and deep.
Chorus
All this day your hand has held me, God of heaven by my side; thank you, Father, for your goodness, you will hold me through the night.
Verse 2

So I find my rest in Jesus, he who came to rescue me; Jesus saved me from the darkness, I will rise to life with him.
