1 The way to heav’n will brighter grow,
Following, following Jesus;
The way to others we may show,
Following, following Jesus.

Refrain:
Following Jesus day by day,
Walking in His footsteps all the way;
Never from His fold to go astray,
Following, following Jesus.

2 How sweet the fellowship will be,
Following, following Jesus;
His life of beauty we shall see,
Following, following Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Our way will lie by waters still,
Following, following Jesus;
Peace and undisturbed our days shall fill,
Following, following Jesus. [Refrain]

4 If seeming ill to us shall come,
Following, following Jesus;
It will but lead us nearer home,
Following, following Jesus. [Refrain]
