I would follow Jesus, follow all the day, walking in his footsteps closely all the way.”

“When I came to Jesus, then my heart was sad, but when he received me, then he made me glad. Freely he forgave me, met my sprits’ need, then he bid me follow, wherever he lead. Oft in hours of trial, I have gone astray, into worldly bypaths from the narrow way, but my Savior sought me, brought me to his side, then again I followed, Christ the Crucified. No, I would not wander, gracious Lord from thee, I would follow wholly, with true loyalty; every sin forsaken from my inmost soul, every thought surrendered to thy grand control. Teach me by thy spirit and thy Holy Word, how best I may suffer and obey thee Lord; for however painful to obey may be, love can made it gladsome, so I will follow thee. I will follow Jesus, follow all the day, walking in his footsteps, closely all the way.”
