14881. All I Leave To Follow Thee

1 Jesus, Savior, blest Redeemer,
All I leave to follow Thee evermore;
What to me is earthly grandeur,
When I’ve Thee whom I adore?
I will sing Thy praises ever,
Till I reach the heav’nly shore;
Jesus, Savior, blest Redeemer,
Thee I’ll follow evermore.

2 Jesus, Savior, blest Redeemer,
What care I if all forsaken I be,
Since Thou lov’st me and will have me,
Since, my God, Thou leadest me?
Oh, what peace and heav’nly comfort,
Grace and joy I find in Thee;
Jesus, Savior, blest Redeemer,
Thou my hope and joy shall be.

3 Jesus, Savior, blest Redeemer,
Thou art leading me o’er life’s troubled deep;
May my footsteps never falter:
Help me Thou my faith to keep.
I will doubt Thy mercy never,
Thou wilt guide me to the shore;
Jesus, Savior, blest Redeemer,
Thee I’ll follow evermore.
