"Follow Me, follow Me, follow Me";
His voice is calling all the day,
"Follow Me, follow Me, follow Me;
For thee I trod the bitter way
For thee I gave My life away,
and drank the gall thy debt to pay,
follow Me, follow Me, follow Me."
2 "Though thou hast sinned, I’ll pardon thee,
follow Me, follow Me, follow Me;
from inbred sin I’ll set thee free,
follow Me, follow Me, follow Me;
In all thy changing life I’ll be
thy God, thy guide o’er land and sea,
thy bliss through all eternity,
Follow Me, follow Me, follow Me."
3 "Come, cast upon Me all thy cares,
follow Me, follow Me, follow Me;
thy heavy load My arm upbears,
follow Me, follow Me, follow Me;
Lean on My breast, dismiss thy fears,
and trust Me through the future years,
My hand shall wipe away all tears,
follow Me, follow Me, follow Me."
4 Dear Lord, I yield all to Thy will,
I’ll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow Thee;
O, bid my struggling soul be still,
take me, Lord, for I will follow Thee.
Come, cleanse, and with Thy Spirit fill,
and keep me safe from ev'ry ill,
and all Thy Word in me fulfill,
for I will, yes, I will, follow Thee.
