Thomas A. Dorsey, often called the
Fath er of Gospel Music (1899 - 1993), wrote
this song in Chicago, Illinois, after
his wife Nettie died
while giving birth
to a child (who also died shortly
thereafter). Dorsey
sang the song for his friend, Gospel
singer Theodore Frye, and Frye’s choir
sang it the next Sunday at the Ebenezer
Baptist Church. Dorsey died of
Alzheimer's disease on January 23, 1993.
But his testimony lives on each Sunday
as voices rise in praise, singing the
gospel across the land
Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
Through the storm, through the
night,
Lead me on to the light:
Refrain
Take my hand,
precious Lord,
Lead me home.
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:
Refrain
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:
