The Master's voice was sweetA
I gave My life for theeB
Bear thou this cross thro' pain and lossC
Arise and follow MeB
I clasped it in my handD
O Thou who diedst for meB
The day is bright my step is lightE
'Tis sweet to follow TheeB
-
Through the long Summer daysF
I followed lovinglyB
'Twas bliss to hear His voice so nearG
His glorious face to seeB
Down where the lilies paleH
Fringed the bright river's brimI
In pastures green His steps were seenJ
'Twas sweet to follow HimI
-
Oh sweet to follow HimI
Lord let me here abideK
The flowers were fair I lingered thereL
I laid His cross asideK
I saw His face no moreM
By the bright river's brimI
Before me lay the desert wayN
'Twas hard to follow HimI
-
Yes hard to follow HimI
Into that dreary landD
I was alone His cross had grownO
Too heavy for my handD
I heard His voice afarP
Sound thro' the night air chillQ
My weary feet refused to meetA
His coming o'er the hillQ
-
The Master's voice was sadR
I gave My life for theeB
I bore the cross thro' pain and lossC
Thou hast not followed MeB
So fair the lilies' banksS
So bleak the desert wayN
The night was dark I could not markT
Where His blessed footsteps layN
-
Fairer the lilied banksS
Softer the grassy leaB
The endless bliss of those who bestU
Have learned to follow MeB
Canst thou not follow MeB
Hath patient love a power no moreM
To move thy faithless heartV
Wilt thou not follow MeB
These weary feet of MineW
Have stained and red the pathway dreadX
In search of thee and thineW
-
O Lord O Love divineW
Once more I follow TheeB
Let me abide so near Thy sideK
That I Thy face may seeB
I clasp Thy pierced handD
O Thou who diedst for meB
I'll bear Thy cross thro' pain and lossC
So let me cling to TheeB
