God Leads Us Along

Hymn lyrics by and music by George A. Young

Verse 1

• 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.

Verse 2

• 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.

Chorus

Verse 3

• 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.

Chorus

Verse 4

• 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.

Chorus
