1. In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
God leads His dear children along;
Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet,
God leads His dear children along.

CHORUS:
Some through the water, 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 seasons and all the day long.

2. Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads His dear children along.
