Lyrics

Where He may lead me glad­ly I’ll fol­low,
Into the sun­shine, in­to the shade;
I will press on­ward, prais­ing His good­ness,
All of my cares on Je­sus are laid.

Refrain

Where He may lead me glad­ly I’ll fol­low,
Follow Him close­ly day af­ter day;
Into the gar­den or thro’ the judg­ment,
Jesus I’ll fol­low all the way.

I will go with Him in­to the mount­ain,
Never will doubt, but al­ways be­lieve;
Follow His foot­prints to Cal­v’ry’s fount­ain,
Bathe in His love all fears to re­lieve.

Refrain

Tho’ He may lead me down thro’ the val­ley,
I will not fal­ter, nor he­si­tate;
His hand is lead­ing on­ward to glo­ry,
Some hap­py time I’ll reach Hea­ven’s gate.
