No great er joy

(Gsus)I want to hold the hand that holds the world.

(C)I want to know the mys ter y, (Am7)reach out and touch the maj es ty.

(Gsus)I want to hold the hand that holds the world,

the hand that holds the world.

No great er love

could be be stowed,

that You would name us as Your own.

Your daugh ters sing,

Your sons re joice,

they gath er here be (F)fore Your throne.

(C)I want to stand be fore the King, (Am7)join in the song that heav en sings.

(Gsus)I want to hold the hand that holds the world.

(C)I want to know the mys ter y, (Am7)reach out and touch the maj es ty.

(Gsus)I want to hold the hand that holds the world,

the hand that holds the world.

You are,

We rise
