Gladly We Will Go

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1896
Composer: Clarissa Spencer

The Lord is our shep­herd

Precious friend and guide

We’ll trust Him ev­er

trust Him ev­er

Walking by His side;

Be this our en­dea­vor faith­ful­ly to show

Where Je­sus leads our will­ing feet

Beside Him still shall go.

We’ll go

we’ll go

we’ll glad­ly

glad­ly go

Though skies are dark and chil­ly winds may blow

The lost to find

or brave­ly meet the foe

Wherever Je­sus calls us we’ll glad­ly

glad­ly go.

Through sun­shine or tem­pest

Over land or sea

Whate’er be­falls us

where He calls us

Quickly we would be;

The toils that await us though we can­not know

At His com­mand with heart and hand

Beside Him we will go.

The Lord is our keep­er

Watching ev­er near

In Him con­fid­ing

firm ab­id­ing

Wherefore should we fear?

We’ll cling to the pro­mise left us here be­low

And where­so­e’er He lead­eth us

Beside Him we will go.
