 Precious Lord, Take my hand,  
          C 
 Lead me on, let me stand:  
        G    D      Em  A    D     A   D      
 I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.  
               G    D             G 
 Through the storm, through the night,  
         C            C 
 Lead me on, to the light;  
          G       Em    G  D    D      G 
 Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home.

 precious Lord, linger near,

 When my life is almost gone,

 Hear my cry, hear my call,  
 G        C      
 Hold my hand lest i fall;

 Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home.  
             G 
 When the darkness appears  
           C 
 And the night draws near,  
          G     Em    A   D     A  D 
 And the day is past and gone,  
         G 
 At the river I stand,  
           C 
 Guide my feet, hold my hand 
           G    Em       G     D       G     C   G 
 Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
