Precious Lord

Sheet music for
Sheet music for "Precious Lord, Take My Hand."
Courtesy Kathryn Dorsey and family.
In late summer 1932, Dorsey went to a meeting in St. Louis for a few days. Nettie was pregnant, and Dorsey felt sure that on his return he would see his wife and newborn child safe and healthy at home. While he was gone, Dorsey received word that Nettie had died during childbirth. Dorsey's newborn son died the next day.

Dorsey wrote "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" in the days after this affliction. The power of this plea for guidance and comfort arising from Dorsey's grief has been an inspiration to people around the world.
