Author: Christopher Ruby Blackall Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #717 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.5 D Lyrics: 1 Follow the path of Jesus,
Walk where His footsteps lead;
Keep in His beaming presence,
Ev'ry counsel heed;
Watch, while the hours are flying,
Ready some good to do;
Quick, while His voice is calling,
Yield obedience true!
2 Cling to the hand of Jesus,
All through the day and night;
Dark though the way and dreary,
He will guide you right.
Live for the good of others,
Helpless, oppressed and wrong;
Lift them from depths of sorrow,
In His strength be strong!
3 Take up the cross of Jesus,
Sharing the shame He bore;
Self and the world denying,
Love the Saviour more;
Tell all the world of Jesus,
Think of their gloom and loss,
Tell of His great salvation,
Glory in His cross. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Closing Hymns and Encouragement Scripture: Psalm 27:11 Languages: English Tune Title: BOUND BROOK
