He Leadeth Me
In
pastures green?
Not
always; sometimes He
who knoweth best,
in kindness leadeth me
In many
ways where heavy shadows be.
Out of
the sunshine warm and soft and bright...
Out of
the sunshine into the darkest night,
I oft
would faint with sorrow and affright,
Only
for this...I know He holds my hand;
so
whether in the green or desert land
I trust
although I may not understand.
And by
still waters?
No, not
always so;
Ofttimes the
heavy tempests round me blow,
And
o'er my soul the waters and billows go.
But
when the storms beat loudest and I cry
aloud
for help, the Master standeth by
And
whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above
the tempest wild I hear Him say,
Beyond
this darkness lies a perfect day.
In
every path of thine I lead the way.
So
whether on the hilltops high and fair
I
dwell, or in the sunless valleys where
The
shadows lie...what matters? He is there.
And
more than this, where'er the pathway lead
He
gives to me no helpless broken reed,
But His
own hand, sufficient for my need.
So
where He leads me, I can safely go,
And in
the blest hereafter I shall know
Why in
His wisdom, He hath led me so.
