Foot Steps of Jesus

Sweetly

Lord

have we heard Thee call­ing

Come

fol­low Me!

And we see where Thy foot­prints fall­ing

Lead us to Thee.

Footprints of Je­sus

That make the path­way glow;

We will fol­low the steps of Je­sus

Where’er they go.

Though they lead o’er the cold

dark mount­ains

Seeking His sheep;

Or along by Si­lo­am’s fount­ains

Helping the weak.

If they lead through the tem­ple ho­ly

Preaching the Word;

Or in homes of the poor and low­ly

Serving the Lord.

Though

dear Lord

in Thy path­way keep­ing

We fol­low Thee;

Through the gloom of that place of weep­ing

Gethsemane!

If Thy way and its sor­rows bear­ing

We go again

Up the slope of the hill­side

bear­ing

Our cross of pain.

By and by

through the shin­ing por­tals

Turning our feet

We shall walk

with the glad im­mor­tals

Heav’n’s gold­en street.

Then at last when on high He sees us

Our jour­ney done

We will rest where the steps of Je­sus

End at His throne.
