Pearls of Praise ‎#161

161. Follow the Master

1 As we journey on to the land of song,
Where the pure in heart abide,
Let us follow Christ for his blood sufficed,
He would be our strength, our Guide.

Refrain:
We’ll follow the Master, home thro’ the night,
We will walk where he leads,
And we’ll list when he pleads,
Till his palace is in sight.

2 Ev’ry precious day let us work and pray,
And as children do the will
Of our gracious Lord and obey his word,
Till life’s task we will fulfill. [Refrain]

3 And as children dear follow God nor fear
Tho’ the tempter bids us stray;
Walk in God’s own light, toward the city bright,
In the blessed shining way. [Refrain]
