He Leadetil.

He Leadeth.
Not alone by waving meadows,
Or through soft and pleasant places.
By quiet water courses,
Where the lilies lift their faces;
But whether through green pastures,
Or In the desert drear.
His hand upholds our going,
His presence quells our fear.
And always with tenderness,
Proportioned to our need,
He chooseth we'll the pastures
Where His wayward lambs may feed.
Not INCREASINGLY the sunshine
Lights with JOY the path before us,
Lest we miss the dearer glory
of His smile. which shineth DER us.
But always in the darkest cloud
lis His bow Of promise set
A covenant of boundless love
Our Lord will not forget,
And with gracious watchfulness,
Foretelling all alarms.
He shields us from the tempest
In the shelter of His arms,
And we know. what e'er befalleth.
That His love abideth sure.
Through all desolate waste places
That His presence shall endure.
And his potent branch of healing
Turns the bitter into sweet,
While the pleasant water courses
Follow gladly at His feet:
For the Lord Himself is sunshine
Fragrant meadows where we feed,
And the rock from which there fioweth
Purest water for our need.
Thou Thyself. OIL gracious Shepherd
Art the pastures cool and sweet;
Thou the stilly water courses,
Where the lilies kiss Thy feet:
Thou the strong and fearless leader,
Brave to conquer every foe,
And the Hiding place and Refuge
Which we turn to in our woe.
