#298: God Leads Us Along

​(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

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.

CHORUS

Some thru the waters, some thru the flood,

Some thru the f ire, but all thru the blood;

Some thru great sorrow, but God gives a song,

In the night season and all the day long.

2

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.

CHORUS

3

Tho sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,

God leads His dear children along;

Thru grace we can conquer defeat all our foes,

God leads his dear children along.

CHORUS

4

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.

CHORUS
