Author: W. A. O. Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #12 (1894) First Line: Oh, I love to think of Jesus Refrain First Line: I will follow where He leadeth Lyrics: 1 Oh, I love to think of Jesus, As He journey’d to and fro, O’er the barren hills of Judah, In the ages long ago, How He heal’d the wayside beggar, How He made the leper whole, How in love He lit the altar, On the sin polluted soul. Refrain: I will follow where He leadeth, I will pasture where He feedeth, I will follow, follow, follow all the way, I will follow Jesus ev’ry day. 2 Oh, I love to think of Jesus, And His praises I would tell, How he gave the living water To the woman at the well, How He filled the empty vessels, At the marriage feast that day, How He spake the word of comfort To the poor who throng’d this way. [Refrain] 3 Oh, I love to think of Jesus, As He walk’d upon the wave, How the elements obeyed Him, When the mighty word He gave, Speak the word now to my spirit, Lord, thy blessed peace be still; I would follow where Thou leadest, I would magnify Thy will. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Oh, I love to think of Jesus]
