Follow Me (Watson)

lyricist: George Watson, 1885
Composer: Alexander Zarnock

I hear my dy­ing Sav­ior say

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me!

His voice is call­ing all the day

“Follow Me

come

fol­low Me.

For thee I tread the bit­ter way

For thee I give My life away

And drink the gall thy debt to pay

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me.

“I know thy life of guilt and pain

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me!

I know each ache of heart and brain

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me.

For thee I left My heav’n­ly train

For thee I’ve op­ened ev­ery vein

And now I plead yet once again

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me.

“Tho’ thou hast sinned

I’ll par­don thee

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me!

From in­bred sin I’ll set thee free

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me.

In all thy chang­ing life I’ll be

Thy God

and guide o’er land and sea

Thy bliss through all eter­ni­ty

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me.

Come cast upon Me all thy cares

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me!

Thy hea­vy load My arm up­bears

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me.

Lean on My breast

dis­miss thy fears

And trust Me through the fu­ture years

My hand shall wipe away Thy tears

Follow Me

come

fol­low Me.

Dear Lord

I yield to all Thy will

I’ll fol­low Thee

yes

fol­low Thee;

O! bid my strug­gling soul be still

I’ll fol­low Thee

yes

fol­low Thee.

Come cleanse

and with Thy Spir­it fill

And keep me safe from ev­ery ill

And all Thy Word in me ful­fill

I’ll fol­low Thee

yes

fol­low Thee.
