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.
