Precious Lord, Take My Hand: Lyrics

Thomas A. Dorsey

• LP A Legacy

Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, Lord I'm worn;
Through the storm, Lord, through the night,
Lead me on to the light:
Take my hand, precious Lord,
And lead me on.

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near,
And the day has passed and gone,
By the river, Lord, I stand,
Guide my feet, Lord, hold my hand:
Take my hand, precious Lord,
And lead me on.

Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, Lord I'm worn;
Through the storm, Lord, through the night,
Lead me on Lord, to the light:
Take my hand, precious Lord,
And lead me on.

Of note:

Cisco takes one of the most famous American spirituals and does a fine job on it; he used this song quite movingly shortly before he died on The Legendary Cisco Houston in an arrangement that included "Didn't It Rain?".
