Hymn
Savior, I Follow On
Savior, I follow on, guided by Thee,
Seeing not yet the hand that leadeth me.
Hushed be my heart and still,
Fear I no further ill;
Only to meet Thy will
My will shall be.
Riven the rock for me, thirst to relieve,
Manna from heaven falls fresh ev'ry eve;
Never a want severe
Causeth my eye a tear,
But Thou dost whisper near,
"Only believe!"
Savior, I long to walk closer with Thee;
Led by Thy guiding hand ever to be;
Constantly near Thy side,
Quickened and purified,
Living for Him who died
Freely for me!
