Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Joyful Sound #129 (1889) First Line: At the cross I’ve laid my burden Refrain First Line: I would follow on to know him Lyrics: 1 At the cross I’ve laid my burden;
I have passed the narrow gate;
Seeking for the holy city;
On the King’s command I wait.
Refrain:
I would follow on to know him,
Christ, the loveliest and best;
In the paths of his own choosing,
Knowing Jesus, oh, how blest!
2 Ah! so little do I know him,
But I long to know him more;
He has given me his promise;
Let me plead it o’er and o’er. [Refrain]
3 Foll’wing him, my blest example,
Walking where his feet have trod,
Guided by his word and Spirit,
Pleasing not myself, but God. [Refrain]
4 Here, as in a glass but dimly,
I behold his matchless grace;
Soon, beyond the silent river,
I shall see him face to face. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [At the cross I’ve laid my burden]
