He Leadeth Me

1 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.  

Refrain:  
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.  

2 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,  
Nor ever murmur nor repine,  
Content, whatever lot I see,  
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me. [Refrain]  

3 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 thro' Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain]
