1. Escuta a voz do meu Jesus:
“Segue-Me, vem, segue-Me!
Guiar-te-ei à eterna luz;
Segue-Me, vem, segue-Me.
Por ti, Eu toda a Lei cumpri;
Por ti, o amargo fel bebi;
Por ti, a morte já sofri;
Segue-Me, vem, segue-Me.”

2. “Liberto dos pecados teus,
Segue-Me, vem, segue-Me.
Guiar-te-ei aos altos Céus;
Segue-Me, vem, segue-Me.
Ó, quantas vezes te chamei,
E tu quebraste a Minha Lei;
Mas fiador teu Eu fiquei;
Segue-Me, vem, segue-Me.”

3. Sim, meu Jesus, Te seguirei,
Seguirei, sim, seguirei;
Por Ti, eu tudo deixarei,
Deixarei, sim, deixarei.
Mui débil sou e sem vigor;
Sem Ti não posso andar, Senhor;
Mas enche-me do Teu vigor!
Seguirei, sim, seguirei!

Author: William M. Runyan

Showing early musical promise, William Marion Runyan (b. Marion, NY, 1870; d. Pittsburg, KS, 1957) was a substitute church organist by the age of twelve. He became a Methodist minister in 1891 and served several churches in Kansas but turned to evangelism in 1903; he worked for the Central Methodist Conference for the next twenty years. Following that service, Runyan became pastor at the Federated Church at John Brown University, Sulphur Springs, Arkansas. Editor of Christian Workers Magazine, he also served the Moody Bible Institute and was an editor for Hope Publishing Company until his retirement in 1948. Runyan wrote a number of hymn texts, gospel songs, and hymn tunes. Bert Polman Go to person page >
