About this Hymn
In this hymn we hear many echoes of Psalm 23, and yet it reminds us of how the pathway through life is not always beside still waters; sometimes it is through fire or flood, and for the believer it is always with the help of the blood of Christ. If you are struggling, will you pray for God to put a song of encouragement in your heart?
Lyrics
Verse 1
In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads his dear children along; where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet, God leads his dear children along.
Chorus
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.
Verse 2
Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright, God leads his dear children along; sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night, God leads his dear children along.
Verse 3
Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose, God leads his dear children along; through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes; God leads his dear children along.
In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads his dear children along; where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet, God leads his dear children along.
