God Leads Us Along

In shady green pastures,

so rich and 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 thro' the waters,

Some thro' the flood,

Some thro' the fire,

But all thro' the blood;

Some thro' 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 the darkest of night,

God leads His dear children along.

Tho' sorrows befall us,

And Satan 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.
