143. I Will Follow Thee

I will follow thee, my Savior, wheresoe’er my lot may be; Where thou goest I will follow, yes, my Lord, I’ll follow thee. Tho' ’tis lone and dark and dreary, cheerless tho' my path may be, Thou hast trod this way before me, and I gladly follow thee.

2.

Tho' I meet with tribulation, sorely tempted tho' I be, I remember thou wast tempted, and rejoice to follow thee. Tho' thou leadest thro' afflictions, poor, forsaken tho' I be, Thou wast destitute, afflicted, and I only follow thee.

3.

Tho' to Jordan's rolling billows, cold and deep, thou leadest me, Thou hast crossed its waves before me, and I still will follow thee. I will follow thee, my Savior, thou didst shed thy blood for me; And tho' all men should forsake thee, by thy grace I’ll follow thee.
