The Gospel Awakening ‎#147

147. I Will Follow Thee

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 tho' all men should forsake Thee,
By Thy grace I'll follow Thee.

2. Tho' the road be rough and thorny,
Tractless as the foaming sea,
Thou hast trod this way before me,
And I gladly follow Thee. [Chorus]

3. Though I meet with tribulations,
Sorely tempted though I be,
I remember Thou wast tempted,
And rejoice to follow Thee. [Chorus]

4. Though to Jordan's rolling billows,
Cold and deep, Thou leadest me,
Thou hast crossed its waves before me,
And I still will follow Thee. [Chorus]
