The day must dawn and darksome night be                 Verse 3
        past;                                                   Lord, I would place my hand in thine,
        Faith's journey ends in welcomes to the weary,          Nor ever murmur nor repine;
        And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at         Content, whatever lot I see,
        last.                                                   Since 'tis my god that leadeth me.

        Verse 5                                                 For by his hand he leadeth  me.  3/4
        Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping;
        Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above,             Verse 4
        Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,      And when my task on earth is done,
        And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.        When by thy grace the  victory's won,
                                                                E'en death's cold waves I will not flee,
        Chorus                                                  Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

        Whate'er I do, where're I be                            Verse 1
        Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.                  I am tired and weary, but I must toil on till the
