A Pray Tell reader is trying to find a hymn, remembers that it has some of the following text. I don’t recognize it. Does anyone else? Can anyone help her?
“Take my hand and walk in the sun… and in your love we’ll walk together as one. Wash my sins away in your tears, and in your mercy drive away all my fears… let your love carry me on.”
The legendary Aussie Sister Janet Mead RSM:

What a relief to see that you have made a return. I hope your holidays were refreshing and rewarding and that your depleted energies, poured out on the faithful here at PT, will have been repleted, to make you ready for the next phase of the fray.
Bravo!
Hi this link is now not working & im trying to find it for my mums funeral on Friday, know how I can track it down?
If you Google those lyrics, the following song book has the words (page 151):
Calling For God’s Love: A Worktext for Christian Living for High School Freshmen.

I don’t know the song but Google Books shows it in the 1997 book “Calling for God’s Love”–a workbook put out as part of the RBS Christian Living Series. It’s on page 151. The song is called Take My Hand but there is no authorship or musical notation beyond a chord chart.

Joe has it. The song is “Take My Hand.” Google is fast for this kind of task.
Hi Elyn, I got the same title from Yahoo.
You and Ken still in the ATL? Hope he’s still not peeved at me! 😉
Is it just me or does anyone else wonder what Sr. Janet might do musically with the new translation of the mass. Hmmmmm……..?
@Charles: not only ‘unpeeved’ but just mailed you something yesterday c/o St. Mary’s, Visalia!
Take my hand walk in the sun
And in your love we’ll walk together as one
Wash my sin s away in yur tears
and in your mercy, drive away all my fears
Let your Love carry me on
I feel your love is making me strong
Take my hands listen to me
Help me to grow and be what i should be
Let your love carry me on
I feel your love is making me strong
Turn me around facing the sun
And in your love Lord
I’ll love everyone (2x)
Hello,
Trying to find this hymn for a funeral on Friday, does anyone know where we can get it?
Dear Helen,
So sorry to hear of the death of your mum.
The composer is Sr. Janet Mead, the song is Take My Hand, as Chris Grady indicated.
Here is a link that works.
