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 Thy hand 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]
