I Will Follow Jesus

I will follow Je­sus

He gent­ly bids me come;

He’s my bless­èd mas­ter

And He will lead me home;

I will fol­low Je­sus

Thro’ sun­shine and thro’ rain

Morning

noon and ev­en­ing—

O’er mount­ain

hill or plain.

I will fol­low Je­sus

Yes

fol­low

fol­low on;

Follow in His foot­steps

Till I re­ceive the crown;

I will fol­low Je­sus

Wherever He may go

Trusting in His good­ness

He’ll guide me home

I know.

I will fol­low Je­sus

Although the way be steep;

He will be my shep­herd

And I will be His sheep;

I will fol­low Je­sus

He is my on­ly guide;

In the hour of tri­al

He’ll help me stem the tide.

I will fol­low Je­sus

To yon­der realms ab­ove

Flowing with life’s riv­er

The land of light and love;

I will fol­low Je­sus

Till time shall cease to be

Then I’ll fol­low Je­sus

Throughout eter­ni­ty.
