| In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
|
| God leads His dear children along;
|
| Where the water??? |
| s cool flow bathes the weary one??? |
| s feet,
|
| God leads His dear children along.
|
| Some through the waters, some through the flood,
|
| Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
|
| Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
|
| In the night season and all the day long.
|
| Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
|
| God leads His dear children along;
|
| Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
|
| God leads His dear children along.
|
| Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose,
|
| God leads His dear children along;
|
| Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
|
| God leads His dear children along.
|
| Away from the mire, and away from the clay,
|
| God leads His dear children along;
|
| Away up in glory, eternity??? |
| s day,
|
| God leads His dear children along. |
