Precious Lord, take my hand, [Bb] lead me on, help me stand.
[F] I'm tired, [G] Lord, I'm weak, [C] and I'm worn.
Through [F] the storm, through the night, [Bb] lead me on, Lord, to the light.
[F] Precious Lord, take [C] my hand, [F] and lead me [Bb] on.
[F]
When my friends don't understand, [Bb] and they fail to lend a hand,
[F] when my load [G] gets too heavy [C] to bear,
as [F] I go on life's way, [Bb] I just slip away and pray,
[F] and dear Lord, [C] I can [Gm] always [F] find you [Bb] there.

When my way is growing drear, [Bb] and the night is drawing near,
[F] when my life [G] is past [C] and gone,
at [F] that river I stand, guide [Bb] my feet, Lord, would you hold my hand,
[F] Precious Lord, take [C] my hand, and [F] lead me [Bb] on.
[F]
Precious Lord, take my hand, [Bb] lead me on, help me stand.
[F] I'm tired, [G] Lord, I'm weak, [C] and I'm worn.
Hear [F] my cry, hear my call, [Bb] hold my hand, Lord, lest I fall.
[F] Precious Lord, take my [C]
hand, and lead [F] me [Bb] on.
