He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

By His own hand He leadeth me.

His faithful follower I would be

For by His hand He leadeth me.

He leadeth me, O blessed thought!

O words with heavenly 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 follower I would be

For by His hand He leadeth me.

Sometimes, 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,

Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom…

By water's calm, o'er troubled sea,

Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

By His own hand He leadeth me.

His faithful follower I would be

For by His hand He leadeth me.

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.

You leadeth me, You leadeth me,

By Your own hand You leadeth me.

Your faithful follower I will be,

For by Your hand You leadeth me,

For by Your hand You leadeth me,

For by Your hand You leadeth me.
