Christian Hymns ‎#2

2. He Leadeth Me

1 He leadeth me! O blessed tho't!
O words with heav'nly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

Refrain:
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.

2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters still, o'er troubled sea,--
Still 'Tis God's hand that leadeth me. [Refrain]

3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine,
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since God thro' Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain]

4 And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the vict'ry's won,
E'en death's cold waves I will not flee,
Since God thro' Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain]
