Christ Episcopal Church

Each soul is shaped differently, so each of us may suffer differently, but you never have to make it through the darkness alone. Song: "Precious Lord, Take My Hand." Soloist: Lillian Curry, housekeeper/kitchen assistant of Christ Church; Recording Engineer: Jamey Graves. Words: Thomas A. Dorsey, 1932. Dorsey wrote this song in Chicago, Illinois, after his wife Nettie died while giving birth to a child (who also died shortly thereafter). Dorsey sang the song for his friend, Gospel singer Theodore Frye, and Frye’s choir sang it the next Sunday at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Music: Adapted by Thomas Dorsey from the tune Maitland, by George N. Allen, 1844.
