Saviour, where Thou leadest,
We will follow Thee;
Where Thy lambs Thou feedest,
We will follow Thee;
By Thy loving smile attended,
By Thy gentle hand defended,
Till this mortal life is ended,
We will follow Thee.
In life’s early morning
We will follow Thee;
We have heard Thy warning—
We will follow Thee;
If our feet seem sometimes weary,
And the way seems
long and dreary,
Thou wilt speak,
and we shall hear Thee,
And will follow Thee.
In our days of gladness
We will follow Thee;
In our times of sadness
We will follow Thee;
Thou wilt give us without measure
Richest blessings, truest pleasure,
And in heaven, a priceless treasure,
We will follow Thee.
---Alternative verses---
In our childhood’s morning,
We will follow Thee;
We have heard Thy warning,
We will follow Thee;
If our feet are sometimes weary,
And the way seems
long and dreary,
Thou wilt speak
and we will hear Thee,
We will follow Thee.
In our joy and gladness,
We will follow Thee;
In our times of sadness,
We will follow Thee;
Thou wilt give us, without measure,
Richest blessings, purest pleasure,
And in Heav’n, a priceless treasure.
We will follow Thee.
