Ich kann allein nicht gehen, nicht einen Schritt; wo du wirst gehn und stehen, da nimm mich mit. 2 In dein Gnade hülle mein schwaches Herz, und mach es endlich stille in Freud und Schmerz. Lass ruhn zu deinen Füssen dein schwaches Kind; es will die Augen schliessen und folgen blind. 3 Wenn ich auch gar nichts fühle von deiner Macht, du bringst mich doch zum Ziele auch durch die Nacht. So nimm denn meine Hände und führe mich bis an mein selig Ende Und ewiglich!

Julie von Hausmann

1825 - 1901 Person Name: Julia Hautzmann Author of "Oh, Take My Hands, Dear Father" in Hymnal for Church and Home Julie Katharina von Hausmann (born 7 March [O.S. 19 March] 1826 in Riga; died 2 August [O.S. 15 August] 1901 in Võsu, Estonia) was a Baltic German poet, known for the hymn Lord, Take My Hand and Lead Me (German: So nimm denn meine Hände) with a melody by Friedrich Silcher. Earlier translations had been made by Herman Brueckner as "O take my hand, dear Father" and Elmer Leon Jorgenson as "Take Thou My Hand, and Lead Me." The hymn has also been translated by Martha D. Lange, whose version appears in the Great Songs of the Church Revised (1986). Julie Hausmann was the daughter of a teacher. She worked for a while as a governess, but due to her ill health she lived with and cared for her father, who had gone blind. After his death in 1864, she lived with her sisters in Germany, Southern France and St. Petersburg, Russia. She died during a summer vacation in Estonia. A legend circulates that Hausmann wrote her most famous poem "So nimm denn meine Hände" after journeying to see her fiancé at a mission and, on arriving, finding that he had just died. Various explorations of her biography have yet to confirm or deny the rumor. She never married. Her poetry was published by others, including Gustav Knak without mentioning her name, at her request.
