Candi Pearson's rendition of 'He Leadeth Me' is a classic hymn about trusting God's guidance through all of life's circumstances. The song expresses comfort in knowing that God's hand leads the believer through both difficult and peaceful times. It reflects a commitment to follow faithfully without complaint, and looks forward to the ultimate victory over death through God's leading. The lyrics draw from the biblical theme of God as a shepherd guiding His people, reminiscent of Psalm 23.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

He leadeth me! O blessed thought,
O words with heav'nly comfort fraught;
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters still, o'er troubled sea,
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me.

He leadeth me! He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since it is Thou hand that leadest me.

He leadeth me! He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the vict'ry's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since GOD Thou in triumph leadest me.

He leadeth me! He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me,
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
For by His hands, He leadeth me
