"Come, Follow Me," the Savior Spake
Author: J. Scheffler, 1624-77 ; C. W. Schaeffer, 1813-96 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #422 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 First Line: "Come follow Me," the Savior spake Lyrics: 1 "Come, follow Me," the Savior spake,
"All in My way abiding;
Deny yourselves, the world forsake,
Obey My call and guiding.
Oh, bear the cross, whate'er betide,
Take my example for your guide.
2 "I am the Light; I light the way,
A godly life displaying;
I bid you walk as in the day;
I keep your feet from straying.
I am the Way, and well I show
How you must sojourn here below.
3 "I teach you how to shun and flee
What harms your soul's salvation,
Your heart from ev'ry guile to free,
From sin and its temptation.
I am the Refuge of the soul
And lead you to your heav'nly goal.
4 "Thus when you find most hot the fray,
I at your side stand ready;
The fight is Mine, I lead the way,
At all times firm and steady.
A soldier false who will not heed
when Christ the Captain takes the lead!
5 "Who seeks to save on earth his life
Without Me, he shall lose it;
But who for Me in earthly trife
Now loses it shall find it;
Who counts the cross for Me too hard
Who counts not of Me, the Lord."
6 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord,
And take the cross appointed
And, firmly clinging to His Word,
In suff'ring be undaunted.
For all who bear the battle's strain
The crown of life they shall obtain.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #334 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, follow me, the Savior spake,
All in my way abiding;
Deny yourselves, the world forsake,
Obey my call and guiding;
O bear the cross, whate'er betide,
Take my example for your guide.
2 I am the Light, I light the way,
A virtuous life displaying;
Who comes to me and follows, aye,
I lead from his dark straying.
I am the Way, and well I show
How men should sojourn here below.
3 My heart in lowliness abounds,
My soul with love is glowing,
And from my mouth are words and sounds
Of meekness overflowing.
My heart, my mind, my strength, my all
To God I yield, on Him I call.
4 I teach you to avoid and flee
What harms your soul's salvation,
Your heart to purify and free
From sin's abomination.
Your Rock and fortress e'er am I,
And lead you to the life on high.
5 But if too hot you find the fray,
I, at your side, stand ready;
I fight myself, I lead the way,
At all times firm and steady.
A coward he who will not heed
When the chief Captain takes the lead.
6 Who seeks to find His soul's welfare
Without me, he shall lose it;
But who to lose it may appear,
In God shall introduce it.
Who bears no cross, nor follows hard,
Deserves not me, nor my reward.
7 Then let us follow our dear Lord,
Bearing the cross appointed,
And bravely cleaving to His Word,
In suffering be undaunted.
Who has not stood the battle's strain
The crown of life shall ne'er obtain.
