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 sunshines 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 He has conquered, defeated our foes!
God leads His dear children along. [Refrain]
4 Away from the mire, and away from the clay,
God leads His dear children along.
Away up in glory, eternity’s day,
God leads His dear children along. [Refrain]
