HE WILL LEAD HIS CHILDREN HOME

We read and heard the story in the Blessed Old Book,
How the walls of Jericho the people marched round,
And when that trumpet sounded, how the mighty walls shook,
Walls around the city came a-tumblin down.

The Lord delivered Daniel from the hungry lions′ den.
He rolled the waters back before old Moses and his men.
He led the people out of Egypt's bondage and it′s sin.
The Lord, He calmed the ocean and the mighty winds that blew.
He saved the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace, too.
He rose up from the grave just like the prophets said He'd do.
He Never will forsake us, matter not what may come.
Safely He will lead His faithful children on home.

The Lord has raised the dead and caused the blind men to see.
Cleansed the lepers spots and turned the water to wine.
The Lord's the same today and now forever will be.
There′s no other power like the Savior Divine.

The Lord delivered Daniel from the hungry lions′ den.

He rose up from the grave just like the prophets said He'd do.
He Never will forsake us, matter not what may come.
Safely He will lead His faithful children on home.
Safely He will lead His faithful children on home.
Safely He will lead His faithful children on home.

The Lord said, "Brother Jonah, go to Ninevah land"
But he disobeyed the Lord by hidin′ away
Then Jonah got converted to obey the command
From the whale the Lord delivered him on that day
