[Dixielandjazz] Who wrote Precious lord Take My Hand

[ballen]

Thomas A Dorsey also wrote some blues songs under the name "Chicago Tom", he
was a piano player that learned the craft playing house parties, his father
was a minister.

I believe that I've seen dedications in early hymnals that dedicate the song
to "The Choir of the Antioch Baptist Church, Shreveport, LA"  I'd like to
learn more about his relationship to my home town
