118. Just as God Leads Me

1 Just as God leads me, I would go,
I would not ask to choose my way;
Content with what he will bestow,
Assured he will not let me stray.
So as he leads, my path I make,
And step by step I gladly take,
A child in him confiding.

2 Just as God leads I am content,
I rest me calmly in his hands;
That which he has decreed and sent
That which his will for me commands.
I would that he should all fulfil,
That I should do his gracious will,
In living or in dying.

3 Just as God leads I all resign,
I trust me to my Father's will;
When reason's rays deceptive shine,
His counsel would I yet fulfil.
That which his love ordained as right
Before he bro't me to the light,
My all to him resigning.
