By day and by night he leads, he leads me along.

By day and by night he leads, he leads me along.

He is my joy and my song.
By day and by night he leads, he leads me along.
5. The Lord is my light; his way is straight and clear;
It leads to light eternal; I know the Lord is near.

He is my joy and my song.
By day and by night he leads, he leads me along.
