Precious Lord, Take My Hand GC 847

I’ll give Frank Andersen a rest for a while and attend to songs in liturgies posted here that are new to me.

Ryan’s parish sang this gospel song written by Thomas Dorsey (text) and George Allen (music) recently. It is also often sung in a country style. The text is here. The sheet music is available to purchase at various places on the internet including musicnotes. I have a copy in Gather Comprehensive. I can see a liturgical use during Lent, funerals or for Reconciliation.

The wikipedia entry lists an amazing number of covers. There is a detailed commentary here.
