[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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.

[Refrain]
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.

[Verse 2]
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom, 
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.

[Verse 3]
Lord, I would place my hand in thine, 
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

[Verse 4]
And when my task on earth is done, 
When by thy grace the victory’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
