Lyrics

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 through the light
Take my hand, precious Lord
And lead me home
When my way grows dreary
Precious Lord, linger near
And when my life is almost gone
On the river, I will stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand, precious Lord
And lead me home
Written by: Thomas A. Dorsey
