Just as God Leads Me I Would Go

lyricist: Lampertus Gedicke, 1711; translated by Horace Hastings, 1880
Composer: William Sherwin, 1898

Just as God leads me I would go;

I would not ask to choose my way

Content with what He will be­stow

Assured He will not let me stray.

So

as He leads

my path I make

And step by step I glad­ly take

A child in Him con­fid­ing.

Just as God leads

I am con­tent;

I rest me calm­ly in His hands;

That which He has de­creed and sent—

That which His will for me com­mands

I would that He should all ful­fill;

That I should do His gra­cious will

In liv­ing or in dy­ing.

Just as God leads

I will re­sign;

I trust me to my Fa­ther’s will;

When rea­son’s rays de­cep­tive shine

His coun­sel would I yet ful­fill;

That which His love or­dained as right

Before He brought me to the light

My all to Him re­sign­ing.
