When my way grows drear
                     F
Precious Lord linger near
        C              G7
When my life is almost gone
                    C
Hear my cry hear my call
                    F
Hold my hand lest I fall

Take my hand precious Lord lead me home

Precious Lord take my hand
                  F
Lead me on let me stand

I am tired I am weak I am worn
                              C
Through the storm through the night
                  F
Lead me on to the light

Take my hand precious Lord lead me home

When the shadows appear
                    F
And the night draws near
        C               G7
And the day is past and gone
               C
At the river I stand
                      F
Guide my feet hold my hand
        C                  G7      C
Take my hand precious Lord lead me home
