7714. Who Will Follow Jesus?

1. Who will follow Jesus,
Standing for the right,
Holding up His banner
In the thickest fight?
Listening for His orders,
Ready to obey,
Who will follow Jesus,
Serving Him today?

Refrain
Who will follow Jesus?
Who will make reply,
I am on the Lord’s side;
Master, here am I?
Who will follow Jesus?
Who will make reply,
I am on the Lord’s side;
Master, here am I?

2. Who will follow Jesus,
In life’s busy ways,
Working for the Master,
Giving Him the praise;
Earnest in His vineyard,
Honoring His laws,
Faithful to His counsel,
Watchful for His cause? [Refrain]

3. Who will follow Jesus
When the tempter charms?
Fleeing then, for safety,
To the Savior’s arms;
Trusting in His mercy,
Trusting in His power,
Seeking fresh renewals
Of His grace each hour? [Refrain]

4. Who will follow Jesus,
In His work of love,
Leading others to Him,
Lifting prayers above?
Courage, faithful servant!
In His Word we see,
On our side forever
Will this Savior be. [Refrain]
