40. He Leadeth Me

1
He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
 
O words with Heavenly comfort fraught!
 
In joy or trial, where’er I be,
 
Still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
 
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
 
By His own hand He leadeth me.
 
His faithful follower I would be,
 
For by His hand He leadeth me.
2
Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
 
Nor ever murmur nor repine,
 
Content whatever lot I see,
 
Since ‘tis Thy hand that leadeth me.
3
And when my task on earth is done,
 
When by His grace the victory’s won,
 
When Jesus comes or death I see,
 
In life or death, He leadeth me.
