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.

Refrain:
Some thru the waters, some thru the flood,
Some thru the fire, but all thru the blood:
Some thru great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.

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. (Refrain)

3 Tho' sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Thru grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear children along. (Refrain)

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. (Refrain)
