Debbie arranged our a cappella rendering of “Precious Lord, Take My Hand.”

After the service, we fielded some puzzled questions about the source of the number: “That isn’t in the Green Book!” Referring, of course, to the Church hymnal to whose contents we were normally expected to confine ourselves, when singing in church. We took some possibly-sinful pleasure in informing our friends that they’d been treated to the “Come, Come, Ye Saints” of the Black Gospel tradition. Not sure how my father-in-law would have reacted, but we didn’t clear it with him.
Here’s the hymn:   Precious Lord, Take My Hand
