I hear my dy­ing Sav­ior say,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me!
His voice is call­ing all the day,
“Follow Me, come, fol­low Me.
For thee I tread the bit­ter way
For thee I give My life away,
And drink the gall thy debt to pay,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me.

“I know thy life of guilt and pain,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me!
I know each ache of heart and brain,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me.
For thee I left My heav’n­ly train,
For thee I’ve op­ened ev­ery vein,
And now I plead yet once again,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me.

“Tho’ thou hast sinned, I’ll par­don thee,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me!
From in­bred sin I’ll set thee free,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me.
In all thy chang­ing life I’ll be
Thy God, and guide o’er land and sea,
Thy bliss through all eter­ni­ty,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me.

Come cast upon Me all thy cares,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me!
Thy hea­vy load My arm up­bears,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me.
Lean on My breast, dis­miss thy fears,
And trust Me through the fu­ture years,
My hand shall wipe away Thy tears,
Follow Me, come, fol­low Me.

Dear Lord, I yield to all Thy will,
I’ll fol­low Thee, yes, fol­low Thee;
O! bid my strug­gling soul be still,
I’ll fol­low Thee, yes, fol­low Thee.
Come cleanse, and with Thy Spir­it fill,
And keep me safe from ev­ery ill,
And all Thy Word in me ful­fill,
I’ll fol­low Thee, yes, fol­low Thee.
