In shady green pastures so rich and so sweet, God leads His dear children along;
Where the waters cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet God leads His dear children along.
Refrain:
Some through the waters, some thro’ the flood, some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song; in the night season and all the day long.
Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright, God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley in the darkest night, God leads His dear children along.
Tho’ 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.
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.
Refrain:
Some through the waters, some thro’ the flood, some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song; in the night season and all the day long.
