Representative Text

1 When with earthly conflicts weary,
Filled with fear and vague alarm;
There is one who watching o'ver me,
Shields me from all lasting harm.

Refrain:
Jesus leads me, Jesus leads me,
In His pastures green He feeds me,
Jesus leads me, gently leads me,
By the waters still and deep.

2 Pain and want and care and sorrow,
Gather round in dread array;
But with Jesus near to comfort
Prove but milestones on my way. [Refrain]

3 'Tis as but a midnight tempest,
All the ills that earth can bring;
Then a glorious dawn eternal,
And a victor's song to sing. [Refrain]

4 So my heart is always trusting
Tho’ the way be dark and drear.
In the knowledge of His presence,
Every cloud will disappear. [Refrain]
