| 1. He leadeth me!
O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly
comfort fraught!
Whatever I do,
where ever I be,
Still 'tis God's hand
that leadeth me.
Refrain.
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.
2. Sometimes 'mid scenes
of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where
Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters still
ov'r troubles sea,
Still 'tis His hand
that leadeth me!
Refrain.
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. Lord, I would clasp
Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur not repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God
that leadeth me.
Refrain.
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.
4. 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.
Refrain.
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.
