Representative Text

1 I will follow thee, my Jesus,
Where thou leadest I will go;
Will not murmur; will not question;
Simply follow, here below.

Chorus:
I will follow with my Jesus,
I will follow anywhere;
I will follow, yes, I’ll follow
With my Jesus anywhere.

2 It may be that thou wilt take me
Thro’ a dark and stormy way;
Loss of friends and death may test me,
Jesus, only, will I say. [Chorus]

3 Yes, I’ll follow, gladly follow,
For I’ve reckoned up the cost,
And with Jesus, precious Jesus,
I will count all things, but lost. [Chorus]
