Lyrics

Verse 1
He lead­eth me, O bless­èd thought! (Ps. 73:23-24, Ps. 23:2-3)
O words with heav’n­ly com­fort fraught!
Whate’er I do, whe­re’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that lead­eth me. (Ps. 73:23-24, Ps. 23:2-3, Ps. 139:10, Deut. 8:2)

Chorus
He lead­eth me, He lead­eth me, (Ps. 73:23-24, Ps. 23:2-3)
By His own hand He lead­eth me; (Ps. 73:23-24, Ps. 23:2-3, Ps. 139:10)
His faith­ful fol­low­er I would be, (I Pet. 2:21, John 10:27)
For by His hand He lead­eth me. (Ps. 73:23-24, Ps. 23:2-3, Ps. 139:10)

Verse 2
Sometimes mid scenes of deep­est gloom, (Ps. 23:4)
Sometimes where Ed­en’s bow­ers bloom, (Gen. 2:8-9)
By wa­ters still, ov­er trou­bled sea, (Ps. 23:2, Isa. 43:2)
Still ’tis His hand that lead­eth me. (Ps. 73:23-24, Ps. 23:2-3, Ps. 139:10)

Verse 3
Lord, I would place my hand in Thine, (Isa. 41:13)
Nor ever mur­mur nor re­pine; (Phil. 2:14)
Content, what­ev­er lot I see, (Phil. 4:11-13)
Since ’tis my God that lead­eth me. (Ps. 73:23-24, Ps. 23:2-3)

Verse 4
And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vic­to­ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jor­dan lead­eth me. (Josh. 3:17)
