My heart has heard the Savior

Representative Text

1 My heart has heard the Saviour, saying,
"Follow me; Follow me."
My sins I left, and Christ obeying,
Bent the knee, bent the knee.
Thou bid'st the little children come,
Lest in the paths of sin we roam,
And when we reach our Father's home,
Rest with Thee, rest with Thee.

2 The footsteps of my blessed Saviour
Mine shall be, mine shall be:
Like His my words, my whole behavior,
All shall see, all shall see.
My heart be like the Saviour's mind,
My words like His be ever kind,
Till in my soul I nothing find,
Unlike Thee, unlike Thee.

3 In heaven at last The Lamb that leads us,
We shall see, we shall see;
While with the heavenly joy He feeds us,
Glad and free! Glad and free!
The lambs that follow Him below
With Him through heavenly fields shall go,
And all His wondrous love He'll show,
Unto me, unto thee.
