It is Safe to Follow Jesus

Author: F. S. S. Hymnal: Revival Praises #73 (1907) First Line: It is always safe to follow Refrain First Line: Then follow Jesus Lyrics: 1 It is always safe to follow Where the Savior shows the way; While walking by His guidance, We can never go astray. Chorus: Then follow Jesus, In the narrow way, Then follow Jesus, On to victory. 2 It is always safe to follow Where the blessed Master leads, For He, knowing all our trials, Will supply our daily needs. [Chorus] 3 It is always safe to follow In the footsteps of the Lord; For He leadeth on to vict'ry As is promised in His Word. [Chorus] 4 It is always safe to follow In the path the Savior trod, For although 'tis sometimes rugged, Yet it always leads to God. [Chorus] 5 When we reach the golden city, In the land beyond the blue; Thro' the ages we will praise Him, Now eternally in view. [Chorus] Tune Title: [It is always safe to follow]
