Joy to the World ‎#21

21. Leaving All, I follow Thee

1 I will take my cross, and bear it;
Thy disciple I will be.
From this moment, blessed Savior,
Leaving all, I follow thee.

Chorus:
Follow thee, through pain and sorrow;
Follow where thou leadest me.
From this moment, Blessed Savior,
Leaving all, I follow thee.

2 Lord, thy precious blood has bought me;
Thou has paid the debt for me.
Now I know the bliss of pardon,
Leaving all, I follow thee. [Chorus]

3 O the fullness of thy mercy!
O thy wondrous love to me!
Basking in its glorious sunshine,
Leaving all, I follow thee. [Chorus]

4 I will take my cross, and bear it,
Whatsoe'er that cross may be;
For thy sake myself denying,
Leaving all, I follow thee. [Chorus]
