HE LEADS HIS OWN.

HE leads his own! enough to know He marks the path, and bids me go; I'll trust him though the way seems long, And follow on with cheerful song.
He leads his own! not mine the choice, Content I listen for his voice; Gladly I hasten to obey, And journey where he leads the way.
He leads his own! I would not say That mine should be a pleasant way; Only to know he leads me on To perfect rest, and joy unknown.
He leads his own! though deep the wave, Mighty the arm reached forth to save; My heart shall know no doubt or fear, For Christ the Lord is very near.
He leads his own! when bade to go Through pastures green, where streamlets flow; And when the gloomy vale they tread, And clouds hang darkly overhead.
He leads his own! though oftentimes The sun and joy seem left behind; Just as of old he led his flock, And gave them water from the rock.
