This is from the HymnPod Traditional Hymns Podcast site for "God Leads Us Along:
This is a slow meditative hymn which reminds us of Gods providence, even through difficult situations. The author and composer of God Leads Us Along was an obscure preacher and carpenter who spent a lifetime humbly serving God in small rural areas. Often the salary was meager and life was difficult for his family. Through it all, however, George Young and his wife never wavered in their loyalty to God and His service.

The story is told that after much struggle and effort, the George Young family was finally able to move into their own small home, which they had built themselves. Their joy seemed complete. But then, while Young was away holding meetings in another area, hoodlums who disliked the preachers gospel message set fire to the house, leaving nothing but a heap of ashes. It is thought that out of that tragic experience, George Young completed this hymn, which reaffirms so well the words of Job 35:10: God my Maker, who gives songs in the night.
