Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#153

153. Footprints of Jesus

1 Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
Come, follow me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling
Lead us to Thee.

Chorus:
Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where'er they go.

2 Tho' they lead o'er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along by Siloam's fountains,
Helping the weak: [Chorus]

3 If they lead thro' the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord. [Chorus]

4 By and by, thro' the shining portals,
Turning our feet,
We shall walk, with the glad immortals,
Heav'n's golden streets. [Chorus]
