LYRICS THAT TOUCHED MY HEART - 5 (PRECIOUS LORD TAKE MY HAND)

 THOMAS ANDREW DORSEY

 (JULY 1899 - JANUARY 1993)

           

            Precious Lord, take my hand

            Lead me on, let me stand

            I'm tired, I’m weak, I’m lone

            Through the storm, through the night

            Lead me on to the light

            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

            Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

            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

            Precious Lord, take my hand

            Lead me on, let me stand

            I'm tired, I’m weak,  I’m lone

            Through the storm, through the night

            Lead me on to the light

            Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
