Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Through the storms, through the night,
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me on.
When 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 on.
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.
