Follow, Gladly Follow

Follow the steps of Je­sus

Follow ev­ery day;

Turn not aside or fal­ter

Keep the nar­row way.

Jesus the meek and low­ly

Walked through life be­low

Marking a beat­en path­way;

O

in that path­way go.

O

fol­low

fol­low glad­ly

In the path your Lord hath trod;

He is your light by day and night

He lead­eth you to God;

O

fol­low

fol­low glad­ly

There are bless­ings on the way;

Turn not aside

But watch your guide

Who leads you to end­less day.

Oft on a lone­ly mount­ain;

Oft ’neath ol­ive’s shade

Jesus

your great ex­am­ple

King and Sav­ior

prayed.

Now in His foot­steps fol­low

Lead a life of pray­er;

He is a home pre­par­ing:

You shall His glo­ry share.

Helping the weak and wea­ry

Christ your Sav­ior went;

Seek now to be His stew­ards

On His work in­tent.

Seek out the hea­vy heart­ed

Seek the lost ones

too;

Follow the steps of Je­sus

Do what He’d have you do.
