“He Leadeth Me: O Blessed Thought”

1
He leadeth me: O blesses thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
What’er I do, where’er I be,
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

2
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
By his own hand he leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
for by his hand he leadeth me.

3
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.

4
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
By his own hand he leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
for by his hand he leadeth me.

5
Lord, I would place my hand in thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

6
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
By his own hand he leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
for by his hand he leadeth me.

7
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.

8
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
By his own hand he leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
for by his hand he leadeth me.
