I Will Follow Thee

Representative Text

1 “Who will My disciple be?”
‘Tis the Master’s voice again;
“Follow thou Me!
Follow thou Me!
I will make you fishers of men.”

Refrain:
I will follow Thee,
I will follow Thee;
I will obey,
Help me, I pray;
I will follow, follow Thee.

2 “Who would My disciple be?
He will My commandments keep;
Lovest thou Me!
Lovest thou Me!
Feed My lambs and feed My sheep.” [Refrain]

3 I would Thy disciple be;
Cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin;
Cleanse me, I pray;
Send me today—
Send me forth some soul to win. [Refrain]

4 I will Thy disciple be,
Serve Thee, Master, love Three, Friend;
Teach me, I pray,
Thy will obey,
Love and serve Thee to the end. [Refrain]
