OK Praise, I found the song in a book my wife has. The book is "Favorites: Volume II." Then the cover also has the words, "One of the "Singspiration Series." The book was compiled by Alfred B. Smith & the copyright date of the book is 1946.

The song, "God Leads Us Along" has the same 4 verses that you already know with only one variation. Where you 3rd verse says, "Tho' sorrows befall us, and evils oppose..." my written source has "Tho' sorrows befall us and Satan oppose..." A very minor difference. Everything else is, I believe, word for word.

You might be interested to know that the book shows the author of the text and the tune as G.A. Young with a copyright date for this song as 1930. It probably is Public Domain by now.

Just two pages back in the book there is another song that I thought I would call your attention to. Do you know the song, "All That Thrills My Soul Is Jesus." It was written one year later than "God Leads Us Along" and while the words and melody are different, it has, to me, something of the same "style." By that I mean a smooth & flowing verse with a more energetic chorus.

Take care.
