Oh,
dear Lord,
won't you take my hand?
Lead me on to the promised land.
For I'm so tired, so weak,
and weary in my soul.
Just lead me on in the righteous way,
and I'll meet you on the judgment day.
Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
Take my hand.
Yes, take my hand.
Oh dear Lord, won't you take my hand,
lead me on and let me stand
Take that shining light
of burning in my soul
Keep me on the righteous way
and I'll meet you on the judgment day
Hallelujah, praise the Lord,
take my hand,
just take my hand
Dear pilgrim,
now won't you take his hand
and follow him through the shining land
Just follow him through the pearly gates
and you'll be free
And on your way to the promised land
you'll meet St. Peter and
shake his hand
Hallelujah, praise the Lord,
take my hand
Oh dear Lord won't you take my hand,
lead me on and let me stand,
keep that shining light
of burning in my soul,
keep me on the righteous way,
I'll meet you on the judgment day,
hallelujah, praise the Lord,
take my hand, just take my hand.
