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
