123. He Leadeth Me

1 He leadeth me! O! blessed thought,
Oh! 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, or troubled sea,--
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. [Chorus]

3 Lord, I would clasp Thine hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Still 'tis my God that leadeth me. [Chorus]

4 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 God thro' Jordan leadeth me. [Chorus]
