There Will I Follow Thee

Whithersoever Thou go­est

Let me Thy foot­steps at­tend;

Jesus

my won­der­ful Sav­ior

Loving Re­deem­er and friend.

There would I be

there would I be

Thou who hast la­bored and sor­rowed for me;

Whithersoever Thou go­est

There will I fol­low Thee.

Over the snow cov­ered mount­ain

Out on the wild des­ert track

Seeking to res­cue the lost ones

Tenderly call­ing them back.

Telling of hope to the friend­less

Cheering the homes where they dwell;

Going with light and sal­va­tion

Into the dark pri­son cell.

Giving re­lief to the strang­er

Plodding his jour­ney alone;

Sharing the tri­als of others

Patiently bear­ing my own.
