I seem to remember it on the radio from my early childhood.
Lord I'm coming Home - ♫ - Foggy Mountain Boys
Take My Hand, Precious Lord - ♫ - Mahalia Jackson

And one more song here (below) -- this one (below) is for 21twelve's Mom and the whole family.
Thanks for all your posts too, Fiji Hill. You are a veritable walking encyclopedia of musical knowledge!
Then after I posted it, I could see how it could easily be taken the wrong way. It was unintentional. Sorry.
No worries - she is going home soon I imagine, and the Lord has got her wrapped up in His arms.
I like the third song about Angels watching over her. While she’s not afraid, she does have an “angel” of sorts (my wife) watching over her. The rest of the family isn’t too “religious”, so I’m glad my wife is there to pray with her and read the Bible. My wife was wondering if she should stay with my mom or come home with me with the kids starting school and all. She prayed about it, and that “still small voice” said “stay”. (I don’t get those - she says it happens as quick as she thinks the question so it isn’t her answering her own question.)
A few nights later she was praying about how long she should stay, and quickly heard “you’ll know”. (NOT exactly the answer she was looking for! Are they ever!?)
One of my mom’s favorite verses is Psalm 91:4 “He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.” Fits well with your last song which is very beautiful.
Thank you.
Just heard back and the hospice nurse is still at my mom’s house adjusting the morphine levels to try to get her comfortable. I wish I was there, but take comfort that I was able to spend some time with her, and to apologize to her for being such a terror as a child, and not realizing how great a mom she was until I was in my twenties. Of course I imagine that is the way it is with lots of kids.
I think it was a Carter Family song
What a great band
God IS watching over you.
I just got a call tonight from my sister: her mother-in-law has been in the hospital and they just got the word...she has leukemia. She is 89 and, the day she was hospitalized, moved into the second step of assisted living. She too has had a good life and decisions will have to be made. My sister and BIL will leave for Minneapolis, from so Cal, Saturday morning.
My mom is in the Mpls. area as well. (And me on the west coast). I’m glad my other siblings are in the Mpls. area.
Glad you enjoyed....lots of good tunes.
Thanks, Heart-Rest, for the beautiful hymns.
