Lyrics:
Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand All the ways
that God would lead us to that blessed promised land But he'll guide us
with his eye, and we'll follow 'till we die We will understand it
better by and by
Chorus: By and by, when the morning comes, When the saints of God
are gathered home, We will tell the story we've overcome We will
understand it better by and by.
Temptations, hiddens snares often take us unawares And our hearts
are made to bleed for some thoughtless word or deed And we wonder why
the test when we try to do our best But we'll understand it by and by

Lyrics:
He, He leads me! (He leadeth) He, He leads me!
He leadeth me, O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort
fraught. Whate'er I do, where'er I be, Still 'tis God's hand that
leadeth me.
Chorus: He leadeth me, He leadeth me! By His own hand He leadeth
me; His faithful foll'wer I would be, For by His hand, He leadeth
me.
Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's
bowers bloom, By waters still or troubled sea, Still 'tis God's hand
that leadeth me!
Repeat Chorus
And when my task on earth is done, When by Thy grace the victory's
won, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through
Jordan leadeth me!
Repeat Chorus
He leads me, He leads me! By His own hand, He leads me! His
faithful foll'wer I would be, For by His hand, He leadeth me.
He, He leads me! (He leadeth me) He, He leads me! (Ohh...) Repeat
