Chalice Hymnal ‎#545

545. He Leadeth Me: O Blessed Thought!

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.

2 Lord, I would place my hand in thine,
nor ever murmur nor repine;
content, whatever lot I see,
since 'tis thy hand that leadeth me. [Refrain]

3 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 thro' Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain]
