Author: G. A. Young Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 23:2 First Line: In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet Refrain First Line: Some thro' the waters Lyrics: 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.
Chorus:
Some thro' the waters, some through the flood,
Some thro' the fire, but all through 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. (Chorus)
3 Tho' 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. (Chorus)
4 Away from the mire and away from the clay,
God leads His dear children along;
Away up in glory, eternity’s day,
God leads His dear children along. (Chorus)
Used With Tune: [In shady, green pastures]
God Leads Us Along
