Text: | Footsteps of Jesus |
Author: | Mary B. C. Slade |
Tune: | FOOTPRINTS |
Composer: | Dr. A. B. Everett |
1 Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
"Come, follow Me!"
And we see where Thy footprints falling,
Lead us to Thee.
Refrain:
Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow,
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.
2 Tho they lead o’er the cold dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along by Siloam’s fountains,
Helping the weak. [Refrain]
3 If they lead thru the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord. [Refrain]
4 By and by thru the shining portals,
Turning our feet,
We shall walk with the glad immortals,
Heav'n's golden street. [Refrain]
5 Then at last when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We shall rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne. [Refrain]
