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. 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. ---- RELATED RESOURCES: Northwestern Illinois University Chamber Choir - Precious Lord Take My Hand (arrangement by Roy Ringwald) Thomas Dorsey, who wrote Precious Lord in 1932 Aretha Franklin - Precious Lord Take My Hand Mahalia Jackson - Precious Lord Take My Hand Batavia Madrigal Singers - Precious Lord Take My Hand (arrangement by Arnold Sevier) ---- "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" is a hymn written by Thomas Dorsey (featured image in this article) in 1932 with music by George Allen.
