He Leadeth Me

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.


No matter what happens, the Hand of God holds mine all the way home. 


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
