“He led them forth” —no other guide Can lead the way, No other shepherd tend the flock From day to day.
“He led them forth”—the way was right When led by Him; He gently lures the erring ones From paths of sin.
“He led them forth” —they, trusting in His care, rejoice; No hireling, wolf, nor stranger heed; They know His voice.
“He led them forth that they might go” Unto their rest; Though rough the road, if following Him, It is the best.
“He led them forth,” and though they long To reach their home, In patience wait they for His voice— “Behold, I come.”
“He led them forth” —soon listening ears Will hear the shout, The city enter, and with Him “Go no more out.”
