| 99 | He Leadeth Me, O Blessed Thought | ||||
| (HE LEADETH ME. L.M. With Refrain) | |||||
| |||||
1.He leadeth me: O blessed tho't!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, where'er 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 calm, o'er troubled sea,
Still 'tis his hand that leadeth me.
Refrain
3.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.
Refrain
4.And when my task on earth is done,
When, by thy grace, the vic'ry's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God thro' Jordan leadeth me.
Refrain
Amen.
