Author: Joseph H. Gilmore Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #439 (1974) First Line: He leadeth me, O blessed thought! Refrain First Line: He leadeth me, He leadeth me Lyrics: 1 He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O 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 foll'wer 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, o'er troubled sea,
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. (Refrain)
3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. (Refrain)
4 And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict'ry's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me. (Refrain) Topics: Contentment; Pilgrimage, Christian; Serenity Scripture: Psalm 23:2 Languages: English Tune Title: HE LEADETH ME
He Leadeth Me, O Blessed Thought
