Just as God Leads Me

By Anonymous

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 hath decreed and sent, That which His will for me commands, I would that He should all fulfil; 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 fulfil; That I should do His gracious will, 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 seen; God does not yet His guidance show, But in the end it shall be seen How by a loving Father’s will, Faithful and true, He leads me still.
