Author:Annie S. Hawks
Tune:[Who'll be the next to follow Jesus?]
Composer:Robert Lowry

72. Who'll Be the Next?

1 Who'll be the next to follow Jesus?
Who'll be the next His cross to bear?
Some one is ready, some one is waiting;
Who'll be the next a crown to wear?

Refrain:
Who'll be the next?
Who'll be the next?
Who'll be the next to follow Jesus?
Who'll be the next to follow Jesus now?
Follow Jesus now?

2 Who'll be the next to follow Jesus
Follow His weary bleeding feet?
Who'll be the next to lay ev'ry burden
Down at the Father's mercy-seat? [Chorus]

3 Who'll be the next to follow Jesus?
Who'll be the next to praise His name?
Who'll swell the chorus of free redemption
Sing, hallelujah! praise the Lamb? [Chorus]
