About the Song
A timeless hymn, renewed with grace and harmony by two voices raised in faith.
With “He Leadeth Me,” the duo Wilson Fairchild—made up of Wil Reid and Langdon Reid, sons of Statler Brothers legends Harold and Don Reid—offer more than a performance. They offer a prayer in song, delivered with sincerity, reverence, and a deep understanding of the music’s spiritual roots.
This cherished hymn, first written in the 19th century, has been sung for generations in churches, family gatherings, and quiet moments of devotion. And when Wilson Fairchild takes it on, they do so not with flash, but with a deep respect for its sacred message: that even in life’s hardest hours, we are not alone—He leads us still.
The duo’s signature harmonies glide gently over a simple, elegant arrangement. Acoustic guitars, a soft piano, and just enough steel and fiddle to feel country, but never overpowering. Their voices—blended from both blood and belief—carry the kind of warmth and calm assurance that only comes from singing something you don’t just believe in… but live by.
“He leadeth me, O blessed thought…”
Each line is sung not just with musical precision, but with heartfelt conviction. It’s this quality that sets Wilson Fairchild apart in the world of modern gospel and traditional country—their ability to honor the old songs while making them feel present, intimate, and alive.
For listeners who long for the comfort of timeless hymns, “He Leadeth Me” by Wilson Fairchild is more than music—it’s a gentle reminder of grace, guidance, and unwavering faith.
