             Let Me Follow

Dear Jesus, let me follow you,

And hesitate no more;

Through these, life s sorrows, to the cross

You have gone before.

 

If I but knew Your courage, Lord,

No terror would I fear;

But rise on wings of love adored,

And to Your Face draw near.

 

The closer that I come to You,

The more I soar and sing;

And all my sorrows fade away

Beneath Your spreading wing.

 

Oh, take me where I may behold

The Sacred Seraphim;

And in Your Presence blest to stand

Proclaiming Jesus  Name!

 

I bow before You, King of Kings,

Who spoke Creation s Word;

And 'Holy, Holy, Holy” sings

All Heaven to the Lord.
