1 Hear you not the Savior calling,
Calling you so earnestly?
Gently, too, the tones are falling,
"Come, oh, come, and follow me."
Chorus:
Let us round our Leader rally,
Jesus bids us each to come;
He will lead us thro' life's valley,
O'er the river safely home.
2 Lay not upon earth your treasure,
Transient, perishing 'twill be;
Rather seek eternal pleasure;
Would you find it? Follow me. [Chorus]
3 In my Father's house in heaven
Let your hearts untroubled be;
Glorious mansions will be given,
Only come and follow me. [Chorus]
4 Be thy pathway bright or dreary,
Whither duty leadeth thee,
Strong thy steps, or faint and weary,
I will guide thee follow me. [Chorus]
5 When thy days on earth are ending,
And the close of life you see,
Even to the grave descending,
Never fear, but follow me. [Chorus]
