He leads round, but He leads right: | |
| All the way is in His sight; | |
| Be it rough, or be it long; | |
| Void of joy, or set to song; | |
| Bringing much, or mite by mite; | 5 |
| He leads round, but He leads right. | |
| |
| He leads round, but He leads right: | |
| He is with us in the fight; | |
| Sin may lure, or doubts assail, | |
| Clad in Faith’s celestial mail, | 10 |
| We are guarded by His might; | |
| He leads round, but He leads right. | |
| |
| He leads round, but He leads right: | |
| Let no danger then affright; | |
| When to Him we lift our eyes, | 15 |
| Help doth like the Morn arise; | |
| Chasing clouds with conquering light; | |
| He leads round, but He leads right. | |
| |
| He leads round, but He leads right: | |
| Giveth songs ev’n in the night; | 20 |
| O to listen to His voice | |
| When in tears He bids rejoice; | |
| He our blackest can make white; | |
| He leads round, but He leads right. | |
| |
| He leads round, but He leads right; | 25 |
| Heaviest burden groweth light; | |
| Marah! Elim! Wilderness! | |
| Each in turn the Lord doth bless; | |
| Canaan shines, far-off but bright; | |
| He leads round, but He leads right. | 30 |
| |
| He leads round, but He leads right: | |
| Cloud by day and fire by night; | |
| Morn by morn “Let God arise, | |
| Scattering all our enemies”; | |
| And we’ll sing with evening light; | 35 |
| He leads round, but He leads right. | |
