Where He Leads I'll Follow

W. A. Ogden • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 7:9

Verse 1

Sweet are the promises, Kind is the word, Dearer far than any message man ever heard; Pure was the mind of Christ, Sinless I see; He the great example is, and pattern for me.

Chorus

Where He leads I’ll follow, Follow all the way. Where He leads I’ll follow, Follow Jesus ev’ry day.

Verse 2

Sweet is the tender love Jesus hath shown, Sweeter far than any love that mortals have known; Kind to the erring one, Faithful is He; He the great example is, and pattern for me.

Chorus

Where He leads I’ll follow, Follow all the way. Where He leads I’ll follow, Follow Jesus ev’ry day.

Verse 3

List' to His loving words, “Come unto Me;” Weary, heavy-laden, there is sweet rest for thee; Trust in His promises, Faithful and sure; Lean upon the Savior, and thy soul is secure.

Chorus

Where He leads I’ll follow, Follow all the way. Where He leads I’ll follow, Follow Jesus ev’ry day.
