He leadeth me, O blessed thought,

Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
C#m B E
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

E B/F# A
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
C#m B
By His own hand He leadeth me.
E B/F# A
His faithful follower I would be,
C#m B E
For by His hand He leadeth me.
E A
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
C#m B
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
E A
By waters calm, o’er troubled sea,
C#m B E
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
Chorus

E A
And when my task on earth is done,
C#m B
When, by thy grace, the victory won,

And death's cold wave I will not flee,

Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
