1.

Follow Jesus when He leads you on a path you do not know;
Grip His robe by faith, and tightly to it hold.
Though each thorny step is painful on the way the bride must go,
Hidden treasures on this pathway are untold.

Chorus:

Follow Jesus—onward going!
Cast all weights off—never slowing!
Heav’nly power will start flowing
When you’re faithful here to follow Christ your Lord.

2.

Grace abundant you’ve been given! Live a holy bridal life.
Make your calling and election fast and sure;
Be a garden and a fountain set apart from worldly strife.
When He calls, respond with love, unfeigned and pure.
(2 Pet. 1:10 | S. of S. 4:12; 1:4)

3.

To be shown God’s hidden counsels is the calling you were giv’n
From before the earth was fashioned by the Lord.
By His wondrous grace you’re chosen to be heir with God in heav’n,
And His Spirit seals the promise of reward.
(Eph. 1:3-15)

4.

Follow Jesus, chosen soul; His steps to Zion’s home will go.
’Hundred four and forty thousand there will be
Who will sing the song so new, which they’ll have learned on earth below
While they followed Christ the Lamb here faithfully.
(Rev. 14:1-6)
