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

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

Lord I would place my hand in Thine
Nor ever murmur nor repine
Content whatever lot I see
Since 'tis Thy hand 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 thro' Jordan leadeth me
