1. Come, follow me the Savior said
and let us in His footsteps tread
for thus alone can we be one
with God’s own loved begotten son.
2. Come, follow me a simple phrase
yet truth’s sublime effulgent rays
are in these simple words combined
to urge, inspire the human mind.
3. Is it enough alone to know
that we must follow Him below
while trav’ling through this vale of tears?
No this extends to holier spheres.
4. Not only shall we emulate
His course while in this earthly state,
but when we’re free from present cares,
if with our Lord we would be heirs.
5. We must the onward path pursue
as wider fields expand to view,
And follow him unceasingly,
whate’er our lot or sphere may be.
6. For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow’rs,
and glory great and bliss are ours,
if we, throughout eternity,
Obey his words, “Come follow me.”
Come follow me.
Come follow me.
Come follow me.
Come follow me.
