1. He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heavânly comfort fraught!
Whateâer I do, whereâer I be
Still âtis Godâs hand that leadeth me.
* Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follâwer I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
2. Sometimes âmid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Edenâs bowers bloom,
By waters still, oâer troubled sea,
Still âtis His hand that leadeth me.
3. Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since âtis my God that leadeth me.
4. And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the victâryâs won,
Eâen deathâs cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
