If you know Leland’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
He leadeth me, He leadeth me;
How sweet to know that Jesus’ hand
Leads me thro’ the wilderness
Into the promised land.
Refrain
He leadeth me, He leadeth me;
Like a tender shepherd,
He leadeth me.
He leadeth me, He leadeth me;
How calm the weary heart doth grow
When He leads; and O, what rest
The burdened soul may know!
Refrain
He leadeth me; He leadeth me;
And knows the path must thorny be,
Traveling up to heav’nly life,
By way of Calvary.
Refrain
He leadeth me, He leadeth me;
It is enough; I’ll joyful be,
For I know it is in love
That thus He leadeth me.
