Like a shep­herd, ten­der, true,
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads,
Daily finds us pas­tures new,
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads;
If thick mists are o’er the way,
Or the flock ’mid dan­ger feeds,
He will watch them lest they stray,
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads.

All along life’s rug­ged road
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads,
Till we reach yon blest abode,
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads;
All the way, be­fore He’s trod,
And He now the flock pre­cedes,
Safe in­to the fold of God,
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads.

Thro’ the sun­lit ways of life
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads,
Thro’ the war­rings and the strife
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads;
When we reach the Jor­dan’s tide,
Where life’s boun­da­ry line re­cedes,
He will the spread the waves aside,
Jesus leads, Je­sus leads.
