I hear my risen Savior say:

|
| 1. | I hear my risen Savior say: |
| | "Follow me, follow me, follow me"; |
| | His voice is calling all the day, |
| | "Follow me, follow me, follow me; |
| | For thee I trod the bitter way, |
| | For thee I gave my life away, |
| | And drank the gall thy debt to pay, |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me." |
| 2. | "I know thy life of guilt and pain; |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me! |
| | I know each ache of heart and brain; |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me! |
| | How often I have called in vain, |
| | And offered pardon in my name, |
| | And now I plead yet once again! |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me!" |
| 3. | "Though thou hast sinned I'll pardon |
| | thee; |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me! |
| | >From every sin I'll set thee free; |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me! |
| | In all thy changing life I'll be |
| | Thy God, thy guide on land and sea, |
| | Thy bliss through all eternity, |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me!" |
| 4. | "Come, cast on Me thine every care; |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me! |
| | Thy heavy load I will upbear; |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me! |
| | Come, look to Me - dismiss thy fears; |
| | And trust Me through eternal years; |
| | My hand shall wipe away thy tears; |
| | Follow me, follow me, follow me! |
| 5. | Dear Lord, I yield to Thee my will; |
| | I'll follow Thee, follow thee, follow |
| | thee! |
| | Oh, bid my struggling soul be still; |
| | I'll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow |
| | Thee! |
| | Lord, cleanse me, with Thy Spirit fill, |
| | And keep me safe from every ill; |
| | And all Thy Word in me fulfill; |
| | I'll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow |
| | Thee! |
