VERSE 1:
    D                G                   
He leadeth me: O blessed thought!
    D                   Bm     A   
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
      D              G
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
        D        Bm        D   A7  D
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.


CHORUS:
D                      G  D                        
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
G  D      Bm       D       A                        
By his own hand he leadeth me;
     D        A       D  G    D
His faithful follower I would be,
G   D      Bm      D    A7 D
For by his hand he leadeth me.


VERSE 2:
     D                    G                   
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
     D                  Bm    A   
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
    D                  G                   
By waters still, o'er troubled sea,
        D        Bm        D   A7  D
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me.   

CHORUS:
D                      G  D                        
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
G  D      Bm       D       A                        
By his own hand he leadeth me;
     D        A       D  G    D
His faithful follower I would be,
G   D      Bm      D    A7 D
For by his hand he leadeth me.


VERSE 3:
      D                 G                   
Lord, I would place my hand in thine,
     D          Bm    A   
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
    D              G                   
Content, whatever lot I see,
        D     Bm       D    A7 D
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.

CHORUS:
D                      G  D                        
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
G  D      Bm       D       A                        
By his own hand he leadeth me;
     D        A       D  G    D
His faithful follower I would be,
G   D      Bm      D    A7 D
For by his hand he leadeth me.

VERSE 4:
     D               G                   
And when my task on earth is done,
     D                  Bm     A   
When by thy grace the victory's won,
      D                   G                   
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
       D    Bm           D    A7 D
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

CHORUS:
D                      G  D                        
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
G  D      Bm       D       A                        
By his own hand he leadeth me;
     D        A       D  G    D
His faithful follower I would be,
G   D      Bm      D    A7 D
For by his hand he leadeth me.
