Savior! I follow on,
guided by Thee,
Seeing not yet the hand
that leadeth me;
Hushed be my heart and still,
fear I no further ill;
Only to meet Thy will
my will shall be.
Riven the rock for me
thirst to relieve,
Manna from Heaven falls
fresh every eve;
Never a want severe
causeth my eye a tear,
But Thou dost whisper near,
“Only believe!”
Often to Marah’s brink
have I been brought;
Shrinking the cup to drink,
help I have sought;
And with the prayer’s ascent,
Jesus the branch hath rent—
Quickly relief hath sent,
sweetening the draught.
Savior! I long to walk
closer with Thee;
Led by Thy guiding hand
ever to be;
Constantly near Thy side,
quickened and purified,
Living for Him Who died
freely for me!
