Sheet music

  1. 1Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,Come, follow Me!And we see where Thy footprints fallingLead us to Thee.Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow;We will follow the steps of JesusWhere’er they go.
  2. 2Tho’ they lead o’er the cold dark mountains,Seeking His sheep;Or along by Siloam’s fountains,Helping the weak.Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow;We will follow the steps of JesusWhere’er they go.
  3. 3If they lead thro’ the temple holy,Preaching the word;Or in homes of the poor and lowly,Serving the Lord:Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow;We will follow the steps of JesusWhere’er they go.
  4. 4By and by, thro’ the shining portals,Turning our feet,We shall walk, with the glad immortals,Heav’n’s golden street.Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow;We will follow the steps of JesusWhere’er they go.
  5. 5The at last, when on high He sees us,Our journey done,We will rest where the steps of JesusEnd at His throne.Footprints of Jesus, that make the pathway glow;We will follow the steps of JesusWhere’er they go.
