LYRICS (via hymnary.org)

GOD LEADS US ALONG, by G.A. Young
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.

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.

2. Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads His dear children along.

3. Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear children along.

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.

JESUS LED ME ALL THE WAY, by John Peterson
Verse 1 
Someday life’s journey will be o’er
And I shall reach that distant shore
I’ll sing while ent’ring Heaven’s door
Jesus led me all the way

Chorus:
Jesus led me all the way
Led me step by step each day
I will tell the saints and angels
As I lay my burdens down
Jesus led me all the way

Verse 2 
If God should let me there review
The winding paths of earth I knew
It would be proven clear and true
Jesus led me all the way (Chorus)

Verse 3 
And hither to my Lord has led
Today He guides each step I tread
And soon in Heav’n it will be said
Jesus led me all the way (Chorus)

THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD, I’LL NOT WANT, by Francis Rous
1 The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

2 My soul he doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e’en for his own name’s sake.

3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill,
for thou art with me and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

4 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes.
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me,
and in God’s house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be.
