I Will Follow Thee (Elginburg)

I will fol­low Thee

my Sav­ior

Wheresoe’er my lot may be.

Where Thou go­est I will fol­low;

Yes

my Lord

I’ll fol­low Thee.

I will fol­low Thee

my Sav­ior

Thou didst shed Thy blood for me;

And though all men should for­sake me

By Thy grace I’ll fol­low Thee.

Though the road be rough and thor­ny

Trackless as the foam­ing sea;

Thou hast trod this way be­fore me

And I’ll gladly fol­low Thee.

Though I meet with tri­bu­la­tions

Sorely tempt­ed though I be;

I re­mem­ber Thou wast tempt­ed

And re­joice to fol­low Thee.

Though Thou lead’st me through af­flict­ion

Poor

for­sak­en though I be;

Thou wast des­ti­tute

af­flict­ed

And I on­ly fol­low Thee.

Though to Jor­dan’s roll­ing bil­lows

Cold and deep

Thou lead­est me

Thou hast crossed the waves be­fore me

And I still will fol­low Thee.
