Author: G. A. Young Meter: 11.8.11.8 D with refrain Appears in 99 hymnals First Line: In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet Refrain First Line: Some thro' the waters, some thro' 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 thro' the waters, some through the flood,
Some thro' the fire, but all thro' the blood;
Some thro' 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. Topics: Children's Hymns; Choruses Scripture and Praise; Dedication of Children and Parents; God Guidance and Care Used With Tune: GOD LEADS US
