I would follow Jesus
Wholly in the way;
Doing all He pleases,-
Loving to obey;
At His feet be sitting,
Resting on His Word,
Daily lessons learning
Of my risen Lord.

Learning in the desert
Lessons of His grace,-
Catching, through the portals,
Glimpses of His face,
Shining from the glory
Of ray home above,
Shedding sunshine o'er me,
Telling of His love.

Knowing Jesus only,
Setting man aside,
Taking Him who's worthy
As my only Guide;
Resting 'neath His shadow,
Where no earth-mists come,
On His arm be leaning
Till I reach my home.

Gently to the haven
Nearing day by day,
Walking with my Saviour
In the narrow way;
I would follow Jesus
Wholly in the way,
Doing what He pleases,
Loving to obey.
