In shady green pastures so rich and so sweet, God leads his dear children along. Where the waters cool flow, bathes the weary one's feet, God leads his dear children along. 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 season and all the day long. Sometimes in the mount, with the sunshine so bright, God leads his dear children along. Sometimes in the valley, in the darkest of night, God leads his dear children along. 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 season and all the day long. Though sorrows be flawless and Satan oppose, God leads his dear children along. Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes, God leads his dear children along. 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 season and all the day long.
