GOD LEADS US ALONG by George . Young Refrain after each verse. 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. 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. 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. -way from the mire, and a--way from the clay, God leads His dear children along; -way up in glo-ry, e-ter-nity's day, God leads His dear children along.
