Following

“Jesus said unto him, Follow Me” (Matthew 8:22).

By grace I’ll follow Jesus,

Though great may be the cost!

He saved my soul — redeemed me –

When I was doomed and lost;

And though the world despise Him,

And though reproach I feel,

I’ll follow Him, my Shepherd,

Although the cost be real.

Yes, though hard or easy;

Yes, Lord, all the day;

Yes, by grace I‘ll follow;

Yes, Lord, trust, obey!

Yes, Lord, through the sunshine;

Yes, through darkest night;

Yes, when all goes smoothly;

Yes, through faith’s good fight.

Yes, when young, Lord Jesus;

Yes, as I grow old;

Yes, until in heaven,

I, Thy face behold.
