I Will Follow Jesus

Author: L. L. Herron Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13752 Meter: 12.12.12.12 D First Line: I will follow Jesus, He gently bids me come Lyrics: 1 I will follow Jesus, He gently bids me come; He’s my blessed master, and He will lead me home; I will follow Jesus, thro’ sunshine and thro’ rain, Morning, noon and evening— o’er mountain, hill or plain. Refrain: I will follow Jesus, yes, follow, follow on; Follow in His footsteps till I receive the crown; I will follow Jesus wherever He may go, Trusting in His goodness, He’ll guide me home, I know. 2 I will follow Jesus, although the way be steep; He will be my shepherd, and I will be His sheep; I will follow Jesus, He is my only guide; In the hour of trial He’ll help me stem the tide. [Refrain] 3 I will follow Jesus, to yonder realms above, Flowing with life’s river, the land of light and love; I will follow Jesus, till time shall cease to be, Then I’ll follow Jesus throughout eternity. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: VELORE
