I have heard my Sav­ior call­ing,
I have heard my Sav­ior call­ing,
I have heard my Sav­ior call­ing,
Take thy cross and fol­low, fol­low Me.

Where He leads me I will fol­low,
Where He leads me I will fol­low,
Where He leads me I will fol­low,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Tho’ He leads me thro’ the val­ley,
Tho’ He leads me thro’ the val­ley,
Tho’ He leads me thro’ the valley,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Tho’ He leads me thro’ the gar­den,
Tho’ He leads me thro’ the gar­den,
Tho’ He leads me thro’ the gar­den,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Tho’ He leads me thro’ the con­flict,
Tho’ He leads me thro’ the con­flict,
Tho’ He leads me thro’ the con­flict,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Tho’ He leads thro’ fie­ry tri­als,
Tho’ He leads thro’ fie­ry tri­als,
Tho’ He leads thro’ fie­ry tri­als,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.
