15927. His Guiding Hand

1 He leadeth me, He leadeth me;
How sweet to know that Jesus’ hand
Leads me thro’ the wilderness
Into the promised land.

Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me;
Like a tender shepherd,
He leadeth me.

2 He leadeth me, He leadeth me;
How calm the weary heart doth grow
When He leads; and O, what rest
The burdened soul may know! [Refrain]

3 He leadeth me; He leadeth me;
And knows the path must thorny be,
Traveling up to heav’nly life,
By way of Calvary. [Refrain]

4 He leadeth me, He leadeth me;
It is enough; I’ll joyful be,
For I know it is in love
That thus He leadeth me. [Refrain]
