Tune: | CONTRITION |
Composer: | John B. Dykes |
1 Through good report and evil, Lord,
Still guided by Thy faithful word,--
Our staff, our buckler, and our sword,
We follow Thee.
2 With enemies on every side,
We lean on Thee, the Crucified;
Forsaking all on earth beside,
We follow Thee.
3 O Master, point Thou out the way,
Nor suffer Thou our steps to stray;
Then in the path that leads to day
We follow Thee.
4 Thou hast passed on before our face;
Thy footsteps on the way we trace;
Oh, keep us, aid us by Thy grace:
We follow Thee!
5 Whom have we in the heaven above,
Whom on this earth, save Thee, to love?
Still in Thy love we onward move;
We follow Thee!
Amen.
