Wondrous Love ‎#55

55. Follow Me

1 Hark the Savior’s welcome summons,
As he stands by Galilee,
Calling to those weary toilers,
Leave your nets and follow me.
Follow, follow,
Leave your nets and follow, follow, follow me,
Follow, follow me.

2 Now to us these words are given,
Rebel sinners though we be,
Ever this command they bring us,
Leave your sins and follow me.
Follow, follow,
Leave your sins and follow, follow, follow me,
Follow, follow me.

3 Listen then, when sad and weary,
And no ray of light you see,
To the gentle words of Jesus,
Faint not, fear not, follow me.
Follow, follow,
Faint not, fear not, follow, follow, follow me,
Follow, follow me.

4 Thus the Savior’s calling every,
Ever calling you and me,
May we now resolve to heed and
Try, dear Lord, to follow thee,
Follow, follow,
May we try to follow, follow, follow me,
Follow, follow me.
