Through each per­plex­ing care and strife,
That marks the check­ered path of life,
My Sav­ior’s guid­ing hand I see,
And know that still He lead­eth me.

Refrain

He lead­eth me, he lead­eth me,
Let this my theme of rap­ture be!
He lead­eth me, He lead­eth me,
My Sav­ior’s guid­ing hand I see.

Though tri­als great be­fore me rise,
Though clouds of sor­row veil my skies,
Unmoved the com­ing storm I see,
For God my Sav­ior lead­eth me.

Refrain

He lead­eth me, O joy di­vine!
The glo­ry His, the cross be mine,
Since He who suf­fered on the tree
In tender mer­cy lead­eth me.

Refrain

With Him, my soul’s eter­nal guide,
What can I wish or want be­side?
In life or death my song shall be,
My lov­ing Sav­ior lead­eth me.
