Standard (EADGBE)

 In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,

 God leads His dear children a--long;

 Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet,

 God leads His dear children a--long.

(Refrain)

 Some through the waters, some through 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.

Verse 2

 Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,

 God leads His dear children a--long;

 Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,

 God leads His dear children a--long.

Verse 3

 Though sorrows befall us and e-vils oppose,

 God leads His dear children along;

 Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,

 God leads His dear children along.

Verse 4

 A-way from the mire, and a--way from the clay,

 God leads His dear children along;

 A-way up in glo-ry, e-ter-nity's day,

 God leads His dear children along.
