Hymn 358

He Leadeth Me

L.M. with Chorus

He leadeth me! O blessed tho't!
O words with heav'nly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, wheree'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me!

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!

Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine,
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me!

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 thru Jordan leadeth me!

He leadeth me, He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me!
His

His faithful foll'wer I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me!

First Line
He leadeth me! O blessed tho’t!
Chorus First Line
He leadeth me, He leadeth me!
