I would follow Jesus
Closely in the way,
Going where He pleases,
Loving to obey;
On His arm be leaning
In this weary place,
Constantly be tasting
Of His precious grace.
Learning very sweetly
Lessons of His grace,—
Catching, through the portals,
Glimpses of His face,
Shining from the glory.
Of my home above,
Shedding sunshine o’er me,
Telling of His love.
Trusting Jesus only,
Keeping by His side,
Taking Him who’s worthy
As my trusty Guide;
Gently to the haven,
Nearing day by day,
I would walk with Jesus—
Jesus is “the Way.”
