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 tho' all men should forsake thee,
By thy grace I'll follow thee.
2 Tho' 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 Tho' I meet with tribulations,
Surely tempted tho' I be;
I remember thou wast tempted
And rejoice to follow thee. [Chorus]
4 Though thou lead'st me thro' affliction,
Poor, forsaken, though I be;
Thou wast 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]
