Sheet music
- 1Down in the valley with my Savior I would go,Where the flow’rs are blooming and the sweet waters flow;Ev’rywhere He leads meI would follow, follow on,Walking in His footsteps till the crown be won.Follow, follow,I would follow Jesus!Anywhere, ev‘rywhere,I would follow on!Follow, follow,I would follow Jesus!Ev’rywhere He leads meI would follow on!
- 2Down in the valley with my Savior I would go,Where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow;With His hand to lead meI will never, never fear,Dangers cannot fright me, if my Lord is near.Follow, follow,I would follow Jesus!Anywhere, ev‘rywhere,I would follow on!Follow, follow,I would follow Jesus!Ev’rywhere He leads meI would follow on!
- 3Down in the valley, or upon the mountain steep,Close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep;He will lead me safely in the path that He has trod,Up to where they gather in the hills of God.Follow, follow,I would follow Jesus!Anywhere, ev‘rywhere,I would follow on!Follow, follow,I would follow Jesus!Ev’rywhere He leads meI would follow on!
