1 I will follow Jesus, bless His name,
For His power remaineth just the same,
As when followed by the saints of old,
To save and cleanse the soul.

Refrain:
I will follow, I will follow,
Follow Jesus ev’ry day,
I will follow, gladly follow,
Follow Jesus all the way.

2 All on the altar laid as sacrifice,
Saved by His grace, with new life now I rise,
With a pure heart, I to Him will be true,
His blood hath cleansed me thro’. [Refrain]

3 O I will listen to the still small voice,
Saying to me, My will must be your choice,
Gladly I’ll follow now my Leader true,
He fills me thro’ and thro’. [Refrain]

4 The Holy Comforter has come to stay,
Into the lives of those who will obey,
Brother, O this is for you, come and go
Where living waters flow. [Refrain]
