Representative Text

Chorus:
No matter where the Saviour leads me,
I will follow, gladly follow!
No matter where the Saviour needs me,
I will gladly follow Him.

1 Dark may seem the path in which He leads me on,
Soon the light will shine, the darkness all be gone;
Long may seem the night, yet sure the day will dawn,
I will gladly follow Him. [Chorus]

2 Hand in hand with Him no enemies I fear;
Ev‘ry foe must fly, and vanquished, disappear;
Safe amid the battle, sure that vict'ry's near,
I will gladly follow Him. [Chorus]

3 If He leads to toil, in toil may I be spent;
If thro' trials fierce, I walk the path He went;
All His will to suffer I am still content,
I will gladly follow Him. [Chorus]

4 Sure am I His mercy nevermore will fail;
Over sin and sorrow He will still prevail;
O'er the mount of struggle, thro' the peaceful dale,
I will gladly follow Him. [Chorus]
