Author: Mary B. C. Slade, 1826-1882 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #45 (1957) First Line: Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling Refrain First Line: Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow Lyrics: 1 Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
Come, follow Me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling
Lead us to Thee.
Refrain:
Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus where’er they go.
2 Though they lead o’er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along by Siloam’s fountains,
Helping the weak: (Refrain)
3 If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord: (Refrain)
4 Then at last, when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne. (Refrain) Topics: Christ Leader; Christ Life and Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: [Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling]
