It is Safe to Follow Jesus

Representative Text

1 It is always safe to follow
Where the Savior shows the way;
While walking by His guidance,
We can never go astray.

Chorus:
Then follow Jesus,
In the narrow way,
Then follow Jesus,
On to victory.

2 It is always safe to follow
Where the blessed Master leads,
For He, knowing all our trials,
Will supply our daily needs. [Chorus]

3 It is always safe to follow
In the footsteps of the Lord;
For He leadeth on to vict'ry
As is promised in His Word. [Chorus]

4 It is always safe to follow
In the path the Savior trod,
For although 'tis sometimes rugged,
Yet it always leads to God. [Chorus]

5 When we reach the golden city,
In the land beyond the blue;
Thro' the ages we will praise Him,
Now eternally in view. [Chorus]
