Lyrics

Precious Lord, take my handLead me on, help me standI am tiredI am weakI am worn
Through the storm, through the nightLead me on to the lightTake my hand, precious LordLead me home
When my way grows drearPrecious Lord, linger nearWhen my light is almost goneHear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand, lest I fallAnd take my hand, precious LordLead me home
When the darkness appearsAnd the night draws nearAnd the day is past and gone
At the river, I’ll standGuide my feet, hold my handAnd take my hand, precious LordLead me home
Precious Lord, take my handLead me on, help me standFor I am tiredI am weakI am worn
Through the storm, through the nightLead me on to the lightAnd take my hand, precious LordLead me home
