(by Thomas Dorsey. Favorite hymn of Martin Luther King, Jr.) 

Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, help me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, 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 ways grow drear,
Precious Lord linger near,
When my life is almost gone,
Hear my cry, hear my call,
Lead me on 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 lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light Take my hand
precious Lord,

Dolores Armstrong - Precious Lord   | 64.136.26.xxx | Mar 22, 2008 (20:38:06) This song is traveling thru the e-mails and saying it was written by Tommy Dorsey. People think it is the 1940's band leader but I read that he was the son of a black minister. Who is correct? Reply | Quote 0   0
