Author: L. Gedicke Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: As God leads me will I go Lyrics: 1 As God leads me will I go, Nor choose my way, Let him choose the joy or woe Of ev’ry day; They cannot hurt my soul, Because in his control; I leave to him the whole,— His children may. 2 As God leads I am content; He will take care! All things by his will are sent That I must bear. To him I take my fear, My wishes while I’m here,— The way will all seem clear, When I am there! 3 As God leads me, it is mine To follow him; Soon shall all with clearness shine Which now seems dim. Fulfilled be his decree! What he shall choose for me, That shall my portion be, Up to the brim! 4 As God leads me, so my heart In faith shall rest; No grief nor fear my soul shall part From Jesus’ breast. In sweet relief I know What way my life may go— Since God permitteth so— That must be best. Topics: Faith; Life and Service Used With Tune: [As God leads me will I go]
