In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,

God leads His dear children along

Where the waters cool flow bathes the weary ones feet,

God leads His dear children along.

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 Satan 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, eternitys day,

God leads His dear children along.
