Follow the Living Christ

Take up thy cross, the Saviour said, come and my disciple be, Take up thy cross, the world forsake, and humbly follow after me.

Follow, follow, follow every day, follow all the way, Follow, follow, follow the living  Christ.

2.

Take up thy cross with willing heart, Hasten now thy life to yield, Go forth to serve the living Christ, And plant His cross in every field.

Follow, follow, follow every day, follow all the way, Follow, follow, follow the living  Christ.

3.

Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame, Bid thy foolish pride be still. The Lord went forth to die for thee Upon a cross on Calvary's hill.

Follow, follow, follow every day, follow all the way, Follow, follow, follow the living  Christ.

4.

Take up thy cross, and follow on, Never seek to lay it down, For only he who bears the cross, May hope to wear the glorious crown.

Follow, follow, follow every day, follow all the way, Follow, follow, follow the living  Christ.
