I can hear my Savior calling

I can hear my Savior calling,
In the tend’rest accents calling;
On my ear these words are falling,
“Take thy cross, and daily follow me.”

Though the way be dark and dreary,
Though my feet be worn and weary,
Yet my heart keeps bright and cheery
As I follow, follow all the way.

Savior, ever go before me,
Shining heaven’s sunlight o’er me,
And when weak, by grace restore me
As I follow, follow all the way.

Through the valley safely lead me,
Heav’nly manna daily feed me;
Every hour, dear Lord, I need Thee
As I follow, follow all the way.

In Thy heart’s affection hold me,
In Thy arms of love enfold me,
And with Thine own grace uphold me,
As I follow, follow all the way.

I would never leave Thee, never;
Faithful I would be forever;
Nothing from Thy love can sever
As I follow, follow all the way.
