God Leads Us Along

Verse 1
In sha­dy, green pas­tures, (Ps. 23:2)
So rich and so sweet,
God leads His dear child­ren along; (Ps. 23:3)
Where the wa­ter’s cool flow
Bathes the wea­ry one’s feet,
God leads His dear child­ren along. (Ps. 23:2, Isa. 49:10)

Chorus
Some through the wa­ters, (Isa. 43:2, Ps. 66:12)
Some through the flood, (Isa. 43:2)
Some through the fire, (Isa. 43:2, Ps. 66:12)
But all through the blood; (Rev. 7:14)
Some through great sor­row, (Ps. 34:19, Acts 14:22)
But God gives a song, (Job 35:10)
In the night sea­son (Ps. 42:8)
And all the day long.

Verse 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, (Ps. 23:4)
God leads His dear child­ren along.

Verse 3
Though sor­rows be­fall us
And ev­ils op­pose, (Ps. 34:19, II Tim. 3:12)
God leads His dear child­ren along;
Through grace we can conq­uer,
Defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear child­ren along.

Verse 4
Away from the mire,
And away from the clay, (Ps. 40:2)
God leads His dear child­ren along;
Away up in glo­ry, eter­ni­ty’s day,
God leads His dear child­ren along.
