Julie Katharina Hausmann (born 19 March [O.S. 7 March] 1826 in Riga; died 15 August [O.S. 2 August] 1901 in Võsu, Estonia) was a Baltic German poet, known for the hymn "So nimm denn meine Hände" ("Lord, Take My Hand and Lead Me"), 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 Great Songs of the Church Revised (1986).
