1 Through good report and evil, Lord,
Still guided by Thy faithful Word,
Our staff, our buckler, and our sword--
We follow Thee.
2 In silence of the lonely night,
In the full glow of day's clear light,
Through life's strange wanderings, dark or bright,
We follow Thee.
3 Strengthened by Thee we forward go,
'Mid smile or scoff of friend or foe,
Through pain or ease, through joy or woe,
We follow Thee.
4 With enemies on every side,
We learn on Thee, the Crucified,
Forsaking all on earth beside,
We follow Thee.
5 O Master, point Thou out the way,
Nor suffer Thou our steps to stray;
Then in the path that leads to Day,
We follow Thee.
6 Thou hast passed on before our face;
Thy footsteps on the way we trace;
Oh, keep us, aid us by Thy grace:
We follow Thee.
7 Whom have we in the heaven above,
Whom on this earth, save Thee, to love?
Still in Thy light we onward move;
We follow Thee.
Amen.
