Following Jesus Home

Bearing the fruit of the Spir­it

Gentleness

meek­ness and love

Thus we are fol­low­ing Je­sus

Up to the man­sions above.

Scattering bless­ings and sun­shine

Cheering the sad and the lone

Then when the Mas­ter shall call us

Sure of a glad wel­come home.

Casting out all ev­il pas­sions

Envy and hat­red and strife

Walking with Je­sus in spir­it

Pure in our ev­ery­day life.

Helping to bear oth­ers’ bur­dens

Heeding the law of our God;

Thus would He teach us to fol­low

Pathways our dear Sav­ior trod.

Sending our pray­ers and our prais­es

Up to our Fa­ther on high;

Sowing the seed in our weak­ness

Reaping will come by and by.
