1  I can hear my Savior calling,

    In the tend'rest accents calling;

    On my ear these words are falling,

    "Take thy cross, and daily follow me."

 2  Though the way be dark and dreary,

    Though my feet be worn and weary,

    Yet my heart keeps bright and cheery

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 3  Savior, ever go before me,

    Shining heaven's sunlight o'er me,

    And when weak, by grace restore me

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 4  Through the valley safely lead me,

    Heav'nly manna daily feed me;

    Every hour, dear Lord, I need Thee

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 5  In Thy heart's affection hold me,

    In Thy arms of love enfold me,

    And with Thine own grace uphold me,

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 6  I would never leave Thee, never;

    Faithful I would be forever;

    Nothing from Thy love can sever

    As I follow, follow all the way.
