I Love to Walk with Jesus

O I love to walk with Je­sus

Like the pub­li­cans of old

When He ga­thered them about Him

And the bless­èd tid­ings told;

How He came to bring de­li­ver­ance

To the cap­tives in dis­tress

Take away our ev­ery bur­den

Giving per­fect peace and rest.

I will fol­low where He lead­eth;

I will pas­ture where He feed­eth.

I will fol­low all the way

Lord.

I will fol­low Je­sus ev­ery day.

O I love to walk with Je­sus

Like the man of long ago

Who had tar­ried by the way­side

Near the gates of Je­ri­cho

Jesus heard his cry for mer­cy

Gave him back his sight that day

And im­me­di­ate­ly he fol­lowed

Jesus all along the way.

O I love to walk with Je­sus

All the way to Cal­va­ry’s brow

Gaze up­on that scene of suf­fer­ing

While my tears of sor­row flow.

There He tells me how He loves me—

Takes my ev­ery sin away;

So I fol­low Him so glad­ly

Lead me any­where He may.

O some­time I’ll walk with Je­sus

In that land of end­less day

When our jour­ney here is ov­er

And we’ve reached our home to stay.

Then I’ll walk with Him for­ev­er

Sing His prais­es o’er and o’er

And with all the saints in glo­ry

Love

and wor­ship

and adore.
