he leadeth me

He leadeth me! O blessed thought,

O words with heavenly comfort fraught;

whate‟er I do, where‟er I be,

still „This God‟s hand that leadeth me.




He leadeth me! He leadeth me!

By His own hand He leadeth me;

His faithful follower I would be,

for by His hand He leadeth me.




Sometimes „mid scenes of deepest gloom,

sometimes where Eden‟s bowers bloom,

by waters still, o‟er troubled sea,

still „This His hand that leadeth me.




Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,

nor ever murmur or repine;

content, whatever lot I see,

since „This my God that leadeth me.




And when my task on earth is done,

when, by Thy grace, the victory‟s won,

e‟en death‟s cold wave I will not flee,

since Thou through Jordan leadest me
