God Leads Us Along

1 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 thro' the waters, some thro' the flood,  
Some thro' the fire, but all thro' the blood.  
Some thro' great sorrow, but God gives a song  
In the night season and all the day long.  

2 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. [Refrain]  

3 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. [Refrain]
