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 home
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
Take my hand precious Lord lead me home
When my work is all done
And my race here is run
Let me see by the light Thou has shone
That that city is so bright where the Lamb is the light
Take my hand precious Lord lead me home
Precious Lord take my hand
Lead me on let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm throught the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
