20. Rise and Follow Jesus

1 Rise and follow Jesus; hear his voice today;
To his royal palace follow all the way;
Steps of duty glow with beauty,
When the Lord is near;
Light unfailing, help availing,
Will to thee appear.

Refrain:
Rise, rise, rise and follow Jesus,
Follow ev’ry day;
Rise, rise, rise and follow Jesus,
Follow, follow all the way.

2 Rise and follow Jesus; still he calleth thee;
Take the hand he offers, take his grace so free;
Still befriending and defending,
He will go before;
Peace for sadness, rest and gladness
Granting more and more. [Refrain]

3 Rise and follow Jesus, in his pow’r divine,
Walking where the sunbeams of his Spirit shine;
Jewels winning, songs beginning
Which shall louder swell,
Till, in glory, love’s sweet story
All the ransomed tell. [Refrain]
