Psalm 23:1-3 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
[3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
We don’t always like where the path of life leads us, but if we are following the Good Shepherd, we can be assured that He will always lead us in the right path, Psa. 37:23.
He Leadeth Me
_______________________________
He leadeth me, O blessed thought! — O words with heav’nly comfort fraught! — Whate’er I do, where’er I be — Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
CHORUS:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, — By His own hand He leadeth me; — His faithful foll’wer I would be, — For by His hand He leadeth me.
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom, — Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom, — By waters still, o’er troubled sea, — Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
Lord, I would place my hand in Thine, — Nor ever murmur nor repine; — Content, whatever lot I see, — Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.
And when my task on earth is done, — When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won, — E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee, — Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
Joseph H. Gilmore 1862
