I'll Follow Jesus
William J. Henry • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 8:19
Verse 1
I’ll follow Jesus here, I’ll never, never fear, Tho’ Satan’s tempting pow’rs assail; And tho’ I’m tempted sore, I’ll trust Him evermore, For thro’ His grace I shall prevail.
Chorus
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow Jesus all the way; I’ll follow, I’ll follow, To the home of everlasting day.
Verse 2
I’ll follow by His side, whatever may betide, Tho’ perils thickly throng the way; Tho’ billows deep may roll, there’s naught can harm my soul, For He is with me night and day.
Chorus
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow Jesus all the way; I’ll follow, I’ll follow, To the home of everlasting day.
Verse 3
I’ll follow all the way, I’ll never, never stray, This world no more can win my love; I’ve left it all behind, more lasting joys to find, My treasures all are stored above.
Chorus
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow Jesus all the way; I’ll follow, I’ll follow, To the home of everlasting day.
Verse 4
I’ll follow, follow on until the crown is won, And heaven’s gates unfold to me; Then with my harp in hand I’ll join that happy band, And praise Him thro’ eternity.
Chorus
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow Jesus all the way; I’ll follow, I’ll follow, To the home of everlasting day.
