Lyrics to the hymn, He Leadeth Me

The trees
The stream 


Introduction

Hello, hello.

I am Mother of Gooses, and today we are looking at the hymn, He Leadeth Me.

Written by Joseph Henry Gilmore, it is one of the most beautiful hymns in the world; if you don't know the tune, I'm afraid I can't recommend a good singer. No one does what I call a good job.*

But if you don't care about words, and only want the tune, go find Jonathan Anderson, a violinist. He does a wonderful job.


          The Lyrics 

Verse 1 

He leadeth me, oh blessed thought,

Oh words with heavenly comfort fraught.

Whatever I do, wherever I be, still 'tis God's hand

That leadeth me.

Chorus

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

By His own hand He leadeth me.

His faithful follower I would be,

For by His hand He leadeth me.

Verse 2

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,

Sometimes were Eden's flowers bloom,

By waters still, o'er troubled sea, 

Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me.

Chorus

He leadeth me, He leadeth me, 

By his own hand He leadeth me.

His faithful follower I would be,

For by His hand He leadeth me.

Verse 3

Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,

Nor ever murmur, nor repine.

Content, whatever lot I see, 

Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.

Chorus

He leadeth me, He leadeth me, 

By his own hand He leadeth me.

His faithful follower I would be,

For by His hand He leadeth me.

Verse 4

And when my task on earth is done,

When by Thy grace the victory won, 

Even death's cold wave I will not flee, 

Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

Chorus

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

By His own He hand leadeth me.

His faithful follower I would be, 

For by His hand He leadeth me.


     Afterwards

That's it! Beautiful, isn't it? I hope you like it as much as I do.

Now, why don't we all pray that Carrie Underwood sings it? That would be amazing!!!

Let me know in the comments if there is a particular subject that you want me cover.

If you want to read more of my posts, go back to my past lyrics/recipes, or wait until Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, or a Random Chatty Day.

Goodbye, and God bless.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
