He Leadeth Me (Gilbert-Wray)

Not al­ways in the pas­tures green

Where flow’rs and qui­et streams are seen

He lead­eth me.

Ah

no! Some­times His lov­ing hand

Leads where I can­not un­der­stand

Where sha­dows be.

Where Je­sus leads ’tis safe to go

Tho’ storm clouds low­er and tem­pests blow;

I can­not fear

since this I know

He lead­eth me.

Not al­ways in the sun­shine sweet;

Sometimes where loud the tem­pests beat

He lead­eth me.

Yet by my side in love He stands

And cheers my heart and holds my hands

So gra­cious­ly!

What mat­ter if the way be drear?

If Sa­tan tempt my heart to fear?

To Him I flee.

I ask not why He leads me so

For me it is enough to know

He lead­eth me.
