In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet.

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 through the waters, some through the flood, Some through the fire, but all through the blood; Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song, In the night season and all the day long.
