He leadeth me beside still waters
S. Foster
"He leadeth me " Oh! blessed thought!
Oh! words with heavenly comforts fraught,
Whate'er I do,
Wheree'er I be,
Still 'tis God that leadeth me.
Chorus:
He leadeth me! he leadeth me!
By his own 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 God that leadeth me!
Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis God that leadeth me.
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.
