Representative Text

1. O walk in the footsteps of Jesus,
Child of His wonderful love;
O follow, for soon they will guide thee
Up to those mansions above.

Refrain
Yes, walk in the footsteps of Jesus,
Keeping fast hold of His hand,
For thus will He guide thee and lead thee
On to the heavenly land.

2. O walk in the footsteps of Jesus,
Weary one, burdened with care,
Now lift up thine eyes unto Heaven,
Lift up thy spirit in prayer. [Refrain]

3. O walk in the footsteps of Jesus,
Mourning one, over the dead,
For gently His arms will enfold thee,
Tenderly pillow thy head. [Refrain]
