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.

Chorus:
Some through the waters, some through
the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through
the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives
a song,
In the night season and all the day long.

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.

Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Through grace we can conquer, defeat
all our foes,
God leads His dear children along.

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.
