JUST AS GOD LEADS.

Just as God leads me, I would go; I would not ask to choose my way; Content with what he will bestow, Assured he will not let me stray. So as he leads, my path I make, And step by step I gladly take, A child in him confiding.
Just as God leads, I am content; I rest me calmly in his hands; That which he has decreed and sent— That which his will for me commands,— I would that he should all fulfill, That I should do his gracious will In living or in dying.
Just as God leads I all resign; I trust me to my Father's will; When reason's rays deceptive shine, His counsel would I yet fulfill; That which his love ordained as right Before he brought me to the light My all to him resigning.
Just as God leads me, I abide, In faith, in hope, in suffering true; His strength is ever by my side— Can aught my hold on him undo? I hold me firm in patience, knowing That God my life is still bestowing— The best in kindness sending.
Just as God leads, I onward go, Out amid thorns and briars seen; God does not yet his guidance show— But in the end it shall be seen How, by a loving Father's will, Faithful and true, he leads me still.
—From the German.
