[b]PRECIOUS LORD, TAKE MY HAND[/b]
[i]Words: Thom as A. Dorsey, 1932. [/i]

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:

Refrain

Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.

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:

Refrain

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:

Refrain

 Re: PRECIOUS LORD, TAKE MY HAND

The story behind this great hymn of faith is
wonderful. Thomas Dorsey had to travel from
Cleveland to St. Louis to minister in song to
a congregation there. His wife was expecting
and had complications with her labour and lost
the child. For three days, Dorsey's heart was
so burdened with the loss and grieved but after
the third day he sat at the piano and began to
sing and felt His burdens were carried by His
Faithful Friend and Saviour.
