Come, Follow Me

Verse 1

“Come, follow me,” the Savior said. Then let us in his footsteps tread, For thus alone can we be one With God’s own loved, begotten Son.

Verse 2

“Come, follow me,” a simple phrase, Yet truth’s sublime, effulgent rays Are in these simple words combined To urge, inspire the human mind.

Verse 3

Is it enough alone to know That we must follow him below, While trav’ling thru this vale of tears? No, this extends to holier spheres.

Verse 4

Not only shall we emulate His course while in this earthly state, But when we’re freed from present cares, If with our Lord we would be heirs.

Verse 5

We must the onward path pursue As wider fields expand to view, And follow him unceasingly, Whate’er our lot or sphere may be.

Verse 6

For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow’rs, And glory great and bliss are ours, If we, throughout eternity, Obey his words, “Come, follow me.”
