Hi Enya, Mark, Cindy, and Alice, As you know by now, Aunt Dew in The Hundred Penny Box sings and gets lost in a song, which Michael wants to interrupt.

 

Below are the lyrics (words to a song) that she sings. I have also posted a video of Nina Simone singing the song. I'm going to send you the lyrics by e-mail as well. Ideally (if everything were done perfectly), you'll listen to the song and read the lyrics at the same time. Note as well the rhyming words like hand and stand, night and light.

 

The song was written by Thomas Dorsey after his wife died while giving birth,

 

Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light:

Refrain

Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.
