Follow Jesus

The world looks ve­ry beau­ti­ful

And full of joy to me;

The sun shines out in glo­ry bright

On ev­ery thing I see.

I know I shall be hap­py

While in the world I stay

For I will fol­low Je­sus

For I will fol­low Je­sus

Yes

I will fol­low Je­sus

Follow Je­sus all the way.

I’m but a lit­tle pil­grim here

My jour­ney’s just be­gun;

They tell me I shall sor­row meet

Before my jour­ney’s done.

The world is full of sor­row

And suf­fer­ing

they say—

But I will fol­low Je­sus

But I will fol­low Je­sus

Yes

I will fol­low Je­sus

Follow Je­sus all the way.

Then on my lit­tle pil­grim­age

Whatever I may meet

I’ll take it—joy and sor­row all

And lay at Je­sus’ feet.

He’ll com­fort me in trou­ble

He’ll wipe my tears away;

With joy I’ll fol­low Je­sus

With joy I’ll fol­low Je­sus

With joy I’ll fol­low Je­sus

Follow Je­sus all the way.

Then tri­als can­not weigh me down

And pain I need not fear;

For when I’m close by Je­sus’ side

Grief can­not come too near.

Not ev­en death can harm me

When death I meet one day

To Heav’n I’ll fol­low Je­sus

To Heav’n I’ll fol­low Je­sus

To Heav’n I’ll fol­low Je­sus

Follow Je­sus all the way.
