Dear Lord, I Am Ready to Go

Representative Text

1 I hear Jesus call me to follow,
Dear Lord, I am ready to go,
Where He leads the way,
By nigh and by day,
Dear Lord, I am ready to go.

Refrain:
I will go, I will go,
Wherever He calls me to go;
For He is my Shepherd, I know,
I’ll go, I’ll go.

2 His path may be through the deep shadows,
Dear Lord, I am ready to go;
My light He will be,
And all things to me,
Dear Lord, I am ready to go. [Refrain]

3 That someone may know my dear Saviour,
Dear Lord, I am ready to go;
For souls I would win,
In this world of sin,
Dear Lord, I am ready to go. [Refrain]
