99. If Jesus Leads Me

1 If Jesus leads me, what need I fear,
No ill can harm me while he is near;
His voice is pleasure, his presence bliss,
What rapture sweeter, more pure than this!

Chorus:
If Jesus leads me, I am content,
Cheerful I walk in the path he went,
And whether sorrow or joy be sent,
If Jesus leads I am content.

2 If Jesus leads me, I am secure,
No help so ready, no aid so sure;
His grace will keep me, his strength uphold,
That none can tear me from his dear fold. [Chorus]

3 If Jesus leads me, I'm truly blest,
The way he chooses is always best;
Come joy or sorrow, come weal or woe,
Where Jesus leads me I'll gladly go. [Chorus]
