LyicsHe leadeth me! Oh, blessed thought!
Oh, words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, whate'er I be,
Still 't is God's hand that leadeth me!
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own hand he leadeth me!
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own hand he leadeth me!
Sometimes 'midst scenes of deepest gloom
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom;
By waters still, o'er troubled sea--
Still 't is his hand that leadeth me!
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own hand he leadeth me!
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own hand he leadeth me!
Lord, I would clasp thy hands in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine--
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 't is my God that leadeth me.
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own hand he leadeth me!
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own hand he leadeth me!
And when my task on earth is done,
When, by thy grace, the victory's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee;
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own hand he leadeth me!
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own hand he leadeth me!
