LYRICS

Precious Lord, take my hand

Lead me on, let me stand

I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lorn

Through the storm, through the night

Lead me on to the light

Take my hand, precious Lord

Lead me home

In 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 lorn

Through the storm, through the night

Lead me on to the light

Take my hand precious Lord

Lead me home
