Led and Contented

A great song warming my heart today as I ponder on the goodness of my God. I know that my circumstances, whether it's favorable or uncomfortable, does not affect God's goodness that reaches to everlasting. All things will work together for good, according to the plans Jehovah has laid for everyone that loves Him. I'm reminded of this as I lay myself at the foot of the Cross. I rejoice on that love.


Psalm 23:2 He leadeth me beside still waters.

He Leadeth Me

Words: Jo­seph H. Gil­more, 1862.
Music: Wil­liam B. Bradbury, Golden Censer (New York: 1864)


He leadeth me, O blessèd thought!
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Refrain

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, over troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.

Refrain

Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

Refrain

And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
