90. Who will Follow Jesus?

1 Who will follow Jesus,
Standing for the right,
Holding up his banner
In the thickest fight?
List'ning for his orders,
Ready to obey,
Who will follow Jesus,
Serving him to-day?

Chorus:
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?
Eearnest in his vineyard,
Honoring his laws,
Faithful to his counsel,
Watchful for his cause? [Chorus]

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

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 Saviour be. [Chorus]
