In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet;
Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet,
God leads his dear children along.
Sometimes on the mountain where the sun shines so bright;
Sometimes in the valley; in the darkest of night!
Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
Through grace we can conquer defeat all our foes!
God leads his dear children along.
Some through the waters,
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!
— G.A.Young
