Follow Me

1 Long ago, in old Judea,
By the shores of Galilee,
Jesus spoke unto the fishers:
"Leave your nets and follow me."
Still there comes the blessed story,
Pealing thru the ages dim:
Who of you will leave your pleasures,
Take your cross and follow Him?

2 Now no more, in old Judea,
Jesus walketh by the sea:
But He calleth, ever calleth:
"Who will come and follow me?"
Come to Jesus—time may tarnish
Many a dream of beauty fair;
What He offers fadeth never—
Life eternal over there.

3 Over there, beyond death's billows,
Eyes of faith can plainly see
The bright mansions where He promised
All His followers should be.
Let us heed the gospel story,
Pealing thru the ages dim:
"Jesus loves you! died to save you!"
Give up all, and follow Him.
