I can hear my Savior calling,
|
|
| 1. | I can hear my Savior calling, |
| | In the tend'rest accents calling; |
| | On my ear these words are falling, |
| | "Take thy cross, and daily follow me." |
| | I will take my cross and follow, |
| | My dear Savior I will follow, |
| | Where He leads me I will follow, |
| | I'll go with Him, with Him all the way. |
| 2. | Though the way be dark and dreary, |
| | Though my feet be worn and weary, |
| | Yet my heart keeps bright and cheery |
| | As I follow, follow all the way. |
| 3. | Savior, ever go before m, |
| | Shining heaven's sunlight o'er me, |
| | And when weak, by grace restore me |
| | As I follow, follow all the way. |
| 4. | Through the valley safely lead me, |
| | Heav'nly manna daily feed me; |
| | Every hour, dear Lord, I need Thee |
| | As I follow, follow all the way. |
| 5. | In Thy heart's affection hold me, |
| | In Thy arms of love enfold me, |
| | And with Thine own grace uphold me, |
| | As I follow, follow all the way. |
| 6. | I would never leave Thee, never; |
| | Faithful I would be forever; |
| | Nothing from Thy love can sever |
| | As I follow, follow all the way. |
