← I will follow thee, my Saviour Hymns and Tunes (1888) · No. 494

I will follow thee, my Saviour

1

I will follow thee, my Saviour,Wheresoe'er my lot may be.Where thou goest I will follow;Yes, my Lord, I'll follow thee.

Chorus.

I will follow thee, my Saviour,Thou didst shed thy blood for me;And though all men should forsake thee,By thy grace I'll follow thee.

2

Though the road be rough and thorny,Trackless as the foaming sea,Thou hast trod this way before me,And I'll gladly follow thee.

3

Though I meet with tribulations,Sorely tempted though I be;I remember thou wast tempted,And rejoice to follow thee.

4

Though thou lead'st me through affliction,Poor, forsaken, though I be;Thou wast destitute, afflicted,And I only follow thee.

5

Though to Jordan's rolling billows,Cold and deep, thou leadest me,Thou hast crossed the waves before me,And I still will follow thee.
