And yet another Brorson

Where’er God leads I’ll gladly go

Where’er God leads, I’ll gladly go,

for he alone is pastor,

all days of mercy here below

come from my Lord and Master.

God’s path is but the straight way home,

so cheerfully I’ll onward roam

and in his heart be trusting.

Where’er God leads, my life I will

consign to him entirely,

and should my cause seem strange, yet still

he knows how to inspire me

to do what he determined ere

from mother’s womb I first breathed air –

for I am but his servant.

Where’er God leads, in hope as well

as faith my heart rests ever,

in me his power divine will dwell,

can aught me from him sever?

Thus am I always of good cheer,

to God’s true path I will adhere,

beside it there’s none other.

Where’er God leads, I’ll gladly go

e’en though my feet are burning;

although at first I fail to know,

I’m lastly sure of learning

it calls for faithfulness alone

to take the path that I am shown:

that is my faith’s firm anchor.
