1 Where He leads me I will follow,
E’en tho’ rough the path before;
I will trust the blessed Saviour,
Till the weary strife is o’er.

Refrain:
Where He leads me I will follow;
I would heed the gospel call;
This the watchword, pass it onward,—
All for Jesus, all, yes, all.

2 Where He leads me I will follow,
Asking not the way to know;
At the Lord’s command I’ll take me
Wheresoe’er He bids me go. [Refrain]

3 Where He leads me I will follow,
In His footsteps all the way;
Soon the conflict will be ended;
Soon will dawn a better day. [Refrain]

4 Where He leads me I will follow;
This the strength, O Lord, I crave;
If Thou wilt, oh, make me useful,
Some poor dying soul to save. [Refrain]
