3159. I Will Follow Thee (Elginburg)

1. 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.

Refrain
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.

2. 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. [Refrain]

3. Though I meet with tribulations,
Sorely tempted though I be;
I remember Thou wast tempted,
And rejoice to follow Thee. [Refrain]

4. Though Thou lead’st me through affliction,
Poor, forsaken though I be;
Thou wast destitute, afflicted,
And I only follow Thee. [Refrain]

5. 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. [Refrain]
