Subject: Lyr Add: PRECIOUS LORD, TAKE MY HAND (T Dorsey) From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 10 Sep 13 - 04:32 PM Lyr. Add: PRECIOUS LORD, TAKE MY HAND Attrib. to Thomas A. Dorsey; but possibly older. 1 Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I am tired, I am weak, and worn Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light. Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home. 2 When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, lead me near When my life is almost gone Hear my cry, hear my call Hold my hand, lest I fall Take my hand, precious Lord. 3 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. This version at www.authentichistory.com/1600-1859/3-spirituals/. The great voice of Clara Ward may be heard singing this hymn here. The DT has words and music of the version by Thomas A Dorsey. |
