Author: George A. Young, 1903-1977 Hymnal: Total Praise #128 (2011) Meter: 11.8.11.8 with refrain First Line: In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet Refrain First Line: Some thru the waters, some thru 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 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.
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.
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. Topics: Assurance; Children of God; Comfort; Everlasting Life; God Glory and Power; Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness; Jesus Christ His Blood; Music; Refuge Scripture: Psalm 23:2 Languages: English Tune Title: GOD LEADS US
