I follow on, Guided by thee, Seeing not yet the hand That leadeth me; Hushed be my heart and still, Fear I no further ill; Only to meet thy will My will shall be. 2 Riven the rock for me Thirst to relieve, Manna from heaven falls Fresh every eve; Never a want severe Causeth my eye a tear, But thou dost whisper near, "Only believe!" 3 Often to Marah's brink Have I been brought; Shrinking the cup to drink, Help I have sought; And with the prayer's ascent, Jesus the branch hath rent-- Quickly relief hath sent, Sweetening the draught. 4 Saviour! I long to walk Closer with thee; Led by thy guiding hand, Ever to be; Constantly near thy side, Quickened and purified, Living for him who died Freely for me!
