Author: G A Young Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #641 (1999) Meter: 11.8.11.8 with refrain First Line: In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet Refrain First Line: Some through the waters, some through the flood Lyrics: 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 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.
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 Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Through 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] Topics: Gospel Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: GOD LEADS
