16367. Following Jesus

1 Following Jesus just where He leads me,
Singing for glad­ness all the long way;
Up on the mount­ain, ov­er the de­sert,
Kept by His good­ness ev­ery day.

Refrain:
Following Je­sus, bless­ed Re­deem­er,
Crowned by His good­ness, and kept by His pow’r.
Ever re­joic­ing, sing­ing for glad­ness,
Filled with His full­ness hour by hour.

2 Following Je­sus, tho’ so un­wor­thy,
Fearlessly pass­ing thro’ the dark night;
Trusting His pro­mise, "Lo! I am with you,"
Shadows will van­ish in His light. [Refrain]

3 Following Je­sus in­to the val­ley,
Over the path He trod long ago;
Only a step from sha­dow to sun­shine,
Leaning on Him whose love I know. [Refrain]
