Following the Nazarene › Representative Texts

1 I have heard a voice that called me from this world to turn aside,
I will follow I will follow,
One who promises to be my soul’s Defender, Friend or Guide,
I will follow Jesus all the way.

Refrain:
By the waters still, ‘mid the pastures green,
Or the valley of the shadow chill and gray;
Wheresoever He may lead me,
Christ the lowly Nazarene,
I will follow, follow all the way.

2 He who trod ‘mid pain and sorrow up Judea’s rugged hill,
I will follow I will follow,
With my hand in His forever I shall fear or know no ill,
I will follow Jesus all the way. [Refrain]

3 Glory crowns the way I’m taking as I in His footprints go,
I will follow I will follow,
And my heart sings “hallelujah!” tho’ the furnace fiercely glow,
I will follow Jesus all the way. [Refrain]

4 Unto all His will submissive till my life’s work here is done,
I will follow I will follow,
In the way so straight and narrow, till a crown at last I’ve won,
I will follow Jesus all the way. [Refrain]
