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 Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Thru grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear children along. [Refrain]
