God Leads Us Along

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.

Refrain:

Some through the waters

some through the flood

Some through the fire

but all through the blood;

Some through 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 darkest of night

God leads His dear children along.

Though 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.
