God Leads Us Along

In sha­dy

green pas­tures

So rich and so sweet

God leads His dear child­ren along;

Where the wa­ter’s cool flow

Bathes the wea­ry one’s feet

God leads His dear child­ren along.

Some through the wa­ters

Some through the flood

Some through the fire

But all through the blood;

Some through great sor­row

But God gives a song

In the night sea­son

And all the day long.

Sometimes on the mount

Where the sun shines so bright

God leads His dear child­ren along;

Sometimes in the val­ley

In dark­est of night

God leads His dear child­ren along.

Though sor­rows be­fall us

And ev­ils op­pose

God leads His dear child­ren along;

Through grace we can conq­uer

Defeat all our foes

God leads His dear child­ren along.

Away from the mire

And away from the clay

God leads His dear child­ren along;

Away up in glo­ry

eter­ni­ty’s day

God leads His dear child­ren along.
