Author: C. E. P. Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 4 #71 (1928) First Line: List to the call of the Savior Refrain First Line: Follow the light, follow the light Lyrics: 1 List to the call of the Savior, Wand’rer in sin’s dark night Reach out your hand in the darkness, Jesus will lead to the light. Chorus: Follow the light, follow the light, Ye who are wand’ring in sin’s dark night; Follow the light, follow the light, Follow it closely by faith, not by sight. 2 Pitfalls and snares are around you, Dang’rous the path that you tread; You will go down to perdition, Unless by Jesus you’re led. [Chorus] 3 Thousands who’ve wandered in darkness, Rather than follow the light, Find themselves hopelessly groping In lands of unending night. [Chorus] 4 Narrow and straight is the pathway, Up to the gates of day; Following Jesus closely, You cannot lose the way. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [List to the call of the Savior]
