Just as God Leads

By Lampertius

Just as God leads me I would go: I would not ask to choose my way; Content with what he will bestow, Assured he will not let me stray. So, as he leads, my path I make, And step by step I gladly take— A child in him confiding.

Just as God leads, I am content; I rest me calmly in his hands: That which he has decreed and sent, That which his will for me commands, I would that he should all fulfill, That I should do his gracious will, In living or in dying.

Just as God leads, I all resign; I trust me to my Father's will: When reason's rays deceptive shine, His counsel would I yet fulfill; That which his love ordained as right, Before he brought me to the light,— My all to him resigning.

Just as God leads me, I abide, In faith, in hope, in suffering, true: His strength is ever by my side; Can aught my hold on him undo? I hold me firm in patience, knowing That God my life is still bestowing, The best in kindness sending.

Just as God leads, I onward go, Oft amid thorns and briers keen; God does his guidance yet bestow, But in the end it shall be seen How, by a loving Father's will, Faithful and true he leads me still, My trembling footsteps guiding.
