Anywhere Our Father Leads

Representative Text

1 Anywhere our Father leads
We may go—safely go;
Well he knows his children’s needs
Thro’ this world below.

Chorus:
“All our times are in his hand”—
Blessed tho’t! peaceful rest!
And sometime we’ll understand
That “God knoweth best.”

2 Not a song that thrills our heart—
Not a star that gems our sky,
But the echo and the light
Reach our home on high. [Chorus]

3 He who marks the sparrow’s fall,
Hears our plea, hears our plea;
He who hears the raven’s call
Surely answers me. [Chorus]

4 I am glad that he has planned
All our ways, all our ways—
I am glad his guiding hand
Leads us all our days. [Chorus]
