Take My Hand, Precious Lord Lyrics
Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn, I am meek, Guide me, save me, keep me near, To your side, precious Lord.
Through this world of doubt and despair, Help me face my share, Let me not stumble and fall, Let me answer to your call, Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me on.
When I’m low and lost and blue, When the world is cold and cruel, When my feet begin to stray, When there’s no other way, Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me on.
When sorrow fills my heart, When shadows tear me apart, When my tears start to fall, When I need someone to call, Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me on.
When I stand before the throne, Where your glory brightly shone, Let me not have fear, Let me know that you are near, Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me on.
