"Put Your Hand in the Hand " is a gospel pop song composed by Gene MacLellan and first recorded by Canadian singer Anne Murray from her third studio album Honey, Wheat and Laughter .
It became a hit single for the Canadian band Ocean , released as their debut single and title track to their debut album. The song peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 , kept from No. 1 by "Joy to the World " by Three Dog Night .[2] It remained in the top 10 for seven weeks,[3] and was ranked as the No. 33 song for 1971 according to Billboard . The song also reached No. 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[4] The band received fan mail for the song from religious figures such as Billy Graham and the Bishop of Toronto .[5]
After MacLellan's suicide in 1995, his friend and fellow Atlantic Canadian musician Ron Hynes wrote the song "Godspeed" as a tribute, the lyrics for which reference the title of this song.[6]
The song was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006.[7] A remix from the same year adds an instrumental, which occurs between the second chorus and the second verse, as well as a repeat of the chorus and a final instrumentalist chorus, that ends without the fade.[8]
