Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
Come, follow Me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling
Lead us to Thee.
Footprints of Jesus
That make the pathway glow
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where'er they go
Tho' they lead o'er the cold, dark mountains
Seeking His sheep
Or along by Siloam's fountains
Helping the weak
If they lead through the temple holy
Preaching the Word
Or in homes of the poor and lowly
Serving the Lord
By and by, through the shining portals
Turning our feet
We shall walk, with the glad immortals
Heav'n's golden street

Alternate verses:
Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping
We follow Thee
Through the gloom of that place of weeping
Gethsemane!
If Thy way and its sorrows bearing
We go again
Up the slope of the hillside, bearing
Our cross of pain
Then at last when on high He sees us
Our journey done
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne
