Lyrics
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help 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 light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand, lest I fall
And 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
And take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand
I am tired
I am weak
I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
And take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home
