- 1Sweet are the promises,Kind is the word;Dearer far than any message man ever heard;Pure was the mind of Christ,Sinless, I see;He the great example is, and pattern for me.Where He(Where He leads I’ll follow,) leads I’ll follow,(Where He leads I’ll follow,)Follow all the way;(Follow all the way, yes, follow all the way;)Where He(Where He leads I’ll follow,) leads I’ll follow,(Where He leads I’ll follow)Follow Jesus ev’ry day.
- 2Sweet is the tender loveJesus hath shown,Sweeter far than any love that mortals have known;Kind to the erring one,Faithful is He;He the great example is, and pattern for me.Where He(Where He leads I’ll follow,) leads I’ll follow,(Where He leads I’ll follow,)Follow all the way;(Follow all the way, yes, follow all the way;)Where He(Where He leads I’ll follow,) leads I’ll follow,(Where He leads I’ll follow)Follow Jesus ev’ry day.
- 3List to His loving words,“Come unto Me!”Weary, heavy-laden, there is sweet rest for thee;Trust in His promises,Faithful and sure;Lean upon the Savior and thy soul is secure.Where He(Where He leads I’ll follow,) leads I’ll follow,(Where He leads I’ll follow,)Follow all the way;(Follow all the way, yes, follow all the way;)Where He(Where He leads I’ll follow,) leads I’ll follow,(Where He leads I’ll follow)Follow Jesus ev’ry day.
