God Leads Us Along

[Verse 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. [Chorus] Some thro' the waters, some thro' the flood, Some thro' the fire, but all thro' the blood; Some thro' great sorrow, but God gives a song; In the night season and all the day long. [Verse 2] Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright, God leads His dear children along; Sometimes in the valley in the darkest of night, God leads His dear children along. [Chorus] Some thro' the waters, some thro' the flood, Some thro' the fire, but all thro' the blood; Some thro' great sorrow, but God gives a song; In the night season and all the day long. [Verse 3] 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. [Chorus] Some thro' the waters, some thro' the flood, Some thro' the fire, but all thro' the blood; Some thro' great sorrow, but God gives a song; In the night season and all the day long. [Verse 4] 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. [Chorus] Some thro' the waters, some thro' the flood, Some thro' the fire, but all thro' the blood; Some thro' great sorrow, but God gives a song; In the night season and all the day long.
