Author: James L. Elginburg Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #494 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I will follow thee, my Saviour,
Wheresoe'er my lot may be,
Where thou goest I will follow;
Yes, my Lord, I'll follow thee.
Chorus:
I will follow thee, my Saviour,
Thou didst shed thy blood for me;
And though all men should forsake thee,
By thy grace I'll follow thee.
2 Though the road be rough and thorny,
Trackless as the foaming sea,
Thou hast trod this way before me,
And I'll gladly follow thee. [Chorus]
3 Though I meet with tribulations,
Surely tempted though I be;
I remember thou wast tempted,
And rejoice to follow thee. [Chorus]
4 Though thou lead'st me through affliction,
Poor, forsaken, though I be;
Thou was destitute, afflicted,
And I only follow thee. [Chorus]
5 Though to Jordan's rolling billows,
Cold and deep, thou leadest me,
Thou hast crossed the waves before me,
And I still will follow thee. [Chorus] Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Tune Title: I WILL FOLLOW THEE
