1 In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
God leads His dear children along.
Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,
God leads His dear children along.

Refrain:
Some thro' the waters, some thro' the flood,
Some thro' the fire, but all thro' the blood.
Some thro' great sorrow, but God gives a song
In the night season and all the day long.

2 Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads His dear children along.
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads His dear children along. [Refrain]

3 Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
God leads His dear children along.
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes;
God leads His dear children along. [Refrain]
