1In 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.

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

2Sometimes 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.

3Though 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.

4Away from the mire, and away from the clay.
God leads His dear children along;
Away up in glory, eternity’s day,
God leads His children along
