Following the Master

Author: Rev. W. G. Templeton Hymnal: Consecrated Hymns #45 (1902) Topics: Following Refrain First Line: Following the blessed Lord Lyrics: 1 Following the Master, In a world of sorrow, As He scatters blessings On the nations ‘round, Feeding starving thousands With the bread of heaven, And the hungry people Seated on the ground. Refrain: Following the blessed Lord, Following the blessed Lord, Following in sorrow, Following in triumph, Wheresoe’er He leadeth, Following the Lord. 2 Following the Master, In the garden gloomy, Where the bloody sweat drops Bathe His tender face, Where He pleads the Father, In the time of sorrow; He will lead us gently Thro’ this lonely place. [Refrain] 3 Following the Master, In the throng asurging, Crying out their anger In most cruel sounds; Scourging Him with whip-cords, And with thorns they crown Him, On the cross they nail Him. See! those bloody wounds! [Refrain] 4 Following the Master, Up into the glory Of the Father’s mansions Far above the skies; O, Thou blessed Master, How the heart rejoices In the day of triumph; Hallelujah rise. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Following the Master]

Zeal for Christ; or Peter and John following their master
