Laudes Domini ‎#362

362. "We follow thee"

1 Through good report, and evil, Lord,
Still guided by thy faithful word,
Our staff, our buckler, and our sword,
We follow thee.

2 With enemies on every side,
We lean on thee, the Crucified;
Forsaking all on earth beside,
We follow thee.

3 Thou hast passed on before our face;
Thy footsteps on the way we trace;
Oh, keep us, aid us by thy grace;
We follow thee.

4 Whom have we in the heaven above,
Whom on this earth, save thee, to love?
Still in thy light we onward move;
We follow thee!
