Sunday's Hymn: He Leadeth Me

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

Refrain

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.

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

Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that 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 through Jordan leadeth me.

—Jo­seph H. Gil­more

This is another hymn with pages and pages of YouTube videos to choose from, and that makes it difficult to narrow thing down. Thankfully, my son helped me, choosing, first, a Buddy Greene harmonica rendition 

and then this one, which neither of us could bear to pass up.

New Grandson

Meet my first grandson. His name is Theodore Keith, Theo (they think) for short. He was born Saturday night, a day and a half after his scheduled (but then postponed) birth time, and a day and a half before his rescheduled birth time. 

Big sister Natalie is playing with her baby dolls with new intensity.

I’ve decided to take a few days off blogging to celebrate. See you Friday at Out of the Ordinary and here on Sunday with a hymn.
