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 calm, 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.

Christian patience

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Patience; Patience First Line: Patience! O what a grace divine Lyrics: 1 Patience! O what a grace divine! Giv'n by the God of love and pow'r, That leans upon a father's hand, In ev'ry dark, afflicting hour. 2 By patience we serenely bear The troubles of our mortal state; And wait contented our discharge, Nor think our glory comes too late. 3 Though we in full sensation feel The weight, the wounds our God ordains, We smile amid our heaviest woes, And triumph in our sharpest pains. 4 O for this grace to aid us on, And arm with fortitude the breast, Till life's tumultuous voyage is o'er, We reach the shores of endless rest! 5 Faith into vision shall resign, Hope shall in full fruition die; And patience in possession end In the bright worlds of bliss on high. Scripture: Luke 21:19
