Hymn 113

In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet

G.A. Young

Verse 1

In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet,

God leads His dear children along;

Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary

one’s feet,

God leads His dear children along.

Chorus

Some thro’ the waters, some thro’ the flood,

Some thro’ the fire, but all thro’ the blood;

Some thro’ great sorrow, but God

gives a song;

In the night season and all the day long.

Verse 2

Sometimes on the mount where the

sun shines so bright,

God leads His dear children along;

Sometimes in the valley in the darkest night,

God leads His dear children along.

Chorus

Some thro’ the waters, some thro’ the flood,

Some thro’ the fire, but all thro’ the blood;

Some thro’ great sorrow, but God

gives a song;

In the night season and all the day long.

Verse 3

Tho’ sorrows befall us, and Satan oppose,

God leads His dear children along;

Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our

foes,

God leads His dear children along.

Chorus

Some thro’ the waters, some thro’ the flood,

Some thro’ the fire, but all thro’ the blood;

Some thro’ great sorrow, but God

gives a song;

In the night season and all the day long.

Verse 4

Away from the mire, and away from the clay,

God leads His dear children along;

Away up in glory, eternity’s day,

God leads His dear children along.

Chorus

Some thro’ the waters, some thro’ the flood,

Some thro’ the fire, but all thro’ the blood;

Some thro’ great sorrow, but God

gives a song;

In the night season and all the day long.
