God Leads Us Along

GOD LEADS US ALONG by George A. Young 

Refrain after each verse.



    C#             D#m       C#  

In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,

    G#                 A#m      C#

God leads His dear children a--long;

          C#                D#m        C#

Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet,

    G#7            Fm          C#

God leads His dear children a--long.



(Refrain)

 C#                      D#m    F#        C#

Some through the waters, some through the flood,

                           A#m6   D#7       G#7

Some through the fire, but all through the blood;

 C#                            F#          C#

Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,

                    G#7             C#

In the night season and all the day long.



Verse 2

    C#                 D#m       C#  

Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,

     G#                A#m      C#

God leads His dear children a--long;

     C#             D#m      C#

Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,

    G#7                 Fm      C#

God leads His dear children a--long.



Verse 3

       C#             D#m    C#  

Though sorrows befall us and e-vils oppose,

     G#                A#m    C#

God leads His dear children along;

        C#              D#m      C#

Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,

    G#7                 Fm    C#

God leads His dear children along.



Verse 4

   C#                D#m     C#  

A-way from the mire, and a--way from the clay,

    G#                 A#m     C#

God leads His dear children along;

   C#           D#m    C#

A-way up in glo-ry, e-ter-nity's day,

    G#7                 Fm     C#

God leads His dear children along.
