voice; fiddlesCollected by Merlin Mitchell Transcribed by Kyle Perrin Reel 10 Item 3 Genevieve and Earl Jones Langley, Arkansas November 17, 1949 Savior Lead Them I hear a low, faint voice that said, Popra and Mamma are dead; And it comes from the poor orphan child that must be clothed and fed, And it comes from the poor orphan child that must be clothed and fed, And it co es from the poor orphan child that must be clothed and fed. Savior, lead them by the hand, Savior, lead them by the hand, Savior, lead them by the hand 'til they all reach the glitt 1ring strand . Think of the many children, now, who are little boys and girls, Who want their loving mother 's hand to smoothe their golden curls, Who want their loving mother 1s hend to smooth e their golden curls, Who want their lovingmother's hand to smoothe their golden curls. But, now we see those goldenf?) curls hang careless 'round their brow, They say to us, My Pappa 1 s dead and I 1ve no mother now, They say to us, My Pappa 's dead and I 1ve no mother now, They say to us, My Pappy's dead and I've no mother now. Oh, Savior, every orphan bless wherever they may roam, Bless every hand that lends them aid and bless the orphan's homes, Bless every hand that lends them aid and bless the orphan 's hanes, Bless every hand that lends them aid and bless the orphan 's homes. Savior, lead them by the hand, Savior, lead them by the hand, Savior, lead them by the hand 1til they all reach the glitt 1ring strand.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
