As for ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand,’ the author of this hymn was Thomas Andrew Dorsey. He was known as the “Father of Black Gospel Music” and combined African American church hymns such as those by Methodist minister Charles A. Tindley, with blues and jazz.

Although he had hundreds of jazz and blues songs to his credit, Dorsey turned to gospel music and wrote ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand’ in Chicago in 1932 following the tragic death of his wife Nettie and infant son during childbirth. This is one hymn that has been recorded many times over the years by famous singers, including Elvis Presley, Mahalia Jackson, Roy Rogers, and Tennessee Ernie Ford. President Lyndon B. Johnson even requested the hymn to be sung at his funeral.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand’ today!
