Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus

lyricist: Sigismund von Birken, 1653
Composer: Georg Boltze, 1788

Let us ev­er walk with Je­sus

Follow His ex­am­ple pure

Flee the world

which would de­ceive us

And to sin our souls al­lure.

Ever in His foot­steps tread­ing

Body here

yet soul above

Full of faith and hope and love

Let us do the Fa­ther’s bid­ding

Faithful

Lord

abide with me;

Savior

lead

I fol­low Thee.

Let us suf­fer here with Je­sus

To His im­age e’er con­form;

Heaven’s glo­ry soon will please us

Sunshine fol­low on the storm.

Tho’ we sow in tears of sor­row

We shall reap in heav’n­ly joy;

And the fears that now an­noy

Shall be laugh­ter on the mor­row.

Christ

I suf­fer here with Thee;

There

oh

share Thy joy with me!

Let us al­so die with Je­sus.

His death from the se­cond death

From our soul’s de­struct­ion

frees us

Quickens us with life’s glad breath.

Let us mor­ti­fy

while liv­ing

Flesh and blood and die to sin;

And the grave that shuts us in

Shall but prove the gate to Heav­en.

Jesus

here I die to Thee

There to live eter­nal­ly.

Let us glad­ly live with Je­sus;

Since He’s ris­en from the dead;

Death and grave must soon re­lease us.

Jesus

Thou art now our head

We are tru­ly Thine own mem­bers;

Where Thou liv­est

there live we.

Take and own us con­stant­ly

Faithful Friend

as Thy dear breth­ren.

Jesus

here I live to Thee

Also there eter­nal­ly.
