I will follow Thee, my Savior,
Thou hast shed Thy blood for me;
Lead me to the cleansing fountain,
Where from sin I may be free.
I will follow Thee, my Savior,
Thou hast died to make me free;
I am poor and weak and helpless,
Therefore would I follow Thee.
I will follow Thee, my Savior,
All my daily life shall be
Consecrated to Thy service,
I will trust and follow Thee.
I will follow Thee, my Savior,
Taking up my daily Cross;
Follow in thy bleeding footprints,
Counting earthly gains but loss.
As I follow Thee, my Savior,
Draw me near Thy wounded side,
Till I reach the heavenly city;
Then with Thee be glorified.
I will follow, follow,
Yes! I’ll follow only Thee,
I will follow, follow
Yes! I’ll follow only Thee.
P. P. Bilhorn (1865-1936)
