I Will Follow Thee

1 I would be Thy little lamb,
Saviour dear, Saviour dear;
Wilt Thou take me as I am?
Hast Thou room for me?
Wilt Thou lead me, all the day,
In the strait and narrow way?
Shall I never, never stray,
Blessed One, from Thee?

Refrain:
Cling, cling to the Saviour,
Trust, trust Him forever;
Thy blessed Redeemer,
Doubt, doubt no more.

2 When I breathe my simple prayer,
Thou art near, very near;
When I ask Thy tender care,
Wilt Thou look on me?
Softly in my heart I know,
'Tis Thy voice that murmurs low,
"Come, I'll wash thee white as snow;
Child, I died for Thee." [Refrain]

3 Did'st Thou lay Thy glory by,
Saviour mine, Saviour mine?
Did'st Thou suffer, bleed, and die,
For a child like me?
Gladly I will come today;
From Thy love I cannot stay;
All along the heavenly way
I will follow Thee. [Refrain]
