He Leadeth Me was written by Joseph Gilmore in 1862 during the Civil War. He was preaching on Psalm 23 and after one of the services, the words of this hymn came to mine and scribbled down the lines. Unbeknown to him, his wife sent his poem to be published and 3 years later found his hymn in a church hymnal!
He leadeth me, O blessed thought
O words with heavenly comfort fraught
Whate'er I do, where'er I be
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me
