3. Where He Leadeth Me

1 Tho’ I tread a path of darkest night,
With a groping step and slow,
Tho’ I see no light, yet my soul is bright,
For my Lord with me doth go!

Refrain:
I’ll go where God’s hand leadeth me,
Just where he leadeth me, just where he leadeth me!
In pastures green he feedeth me
And I’ll go with him all the way!

2 Tho’ the road is rough I will endure,
Tho’ I stumble God will keep;
And my soul is sure that it is secure
For the Shepherd loves his sheep. [Refrain]

3 Hand in hand with him, my spirit glows
With a joy supreme and deep;
Tho’ the direst foes all my way oppose,
I am safe, my Lord will keep. [Refrain]
