Verse 1: 
1                4 
He leadeth me! O blessed thought! 
  1                           5 
O words with heavenly comfort fraught! 
     1               4 
What-e'er I do, wher-e'er I be, 
       1         6m        1   5/7  1 
Still 'tis God's hand that lead-eth me. 
 
Chorus: 
1          5   5/7 1    4   1 
He leadeth me, He lead-eth me, 
4  1       6m      1       5 
By His own hand He leadeth me; 
5/7  1        5   5/7  1 4     1 
His faithful fol-lower I would be, 
4   1      6m      1    5/7  1 
For by His hand He lead-eth me. 
 
Verse 2: 
1                         4 
Some-times 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, 
     1                      5 
Some-times where Eden's bow-ers bloom, 
   1                  4 
By waters still, o'er troubled sea 
       1       6m        1    5/7  1 
Still 'tis His hand that lead-eth me! 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 3: 
1                      4 
Lord, I would clasp my hand in Thine, 
    1                5 
Nor ever mur-mur nor repine; 
    1              4 
Con-tent, whatever lot I see,  
       1      6m       1    5/7  1 
Since 'tis my God that lead-eth me. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 4: 
1                   4 
And when my task on earth is done, 
      1                        5 
When, by Thy grace, the victory's won, 
     1                   4 
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, 
      1           6m     1    5/7  1 
Since God through Jordan lead-eth me. 
 
(Chorus)
