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 Spirit’s Need ;
Then He Bade Me Follow Whither He Would Lead.

I Will Follow Jesus, Follow All The Day ;
Walking In His Footsteps Closely All The Way.

Oft In Hours Of Trial I Have Gone Astray,
Into Worldly Bypaths From The Narrow Way ;
But My Saviour Sought Me, Brought Me To His Side ;
Then Again I Followed Christ, The Crucified.

But I Would Not Wander, Gracious Lord, From Thee;
I Would Follow Wholly, With True Loyalty:
Every Sin Forsaking From My Inmost Soul ;
Every Thought Surrendered To Thy Grand Control.

Teach Me By Thy Spirit, And Thy Holy Word,
How I Best May Suffer, And Obey Thee, Lord ;
And However Painful To Obey May Be,
Love Can Make It Gladsome, Aye To Follow Thee.
