Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand Lord, I'm tired, Lord, I'm so weak Lord, You know 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, it gets kind of dreary Precious Lord, somewhere near When my light is almost gone Hear my cry, Lord, hear my call Hold my hand lest I fall Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home |
