Precious Lord
Precious Lord, Take My Hand
PRECIOUS LORD/Thomas A. Dorsey
1. Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand;
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
2. When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near,
When my life is almost gone;
Hear my cry, hear my call,
Hold my hand lest I fall:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
3. When the darkness appears And the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone, At the river I stand,
Guide my feet, hold my hand:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
