Savior! I Follow On

Savior! I fol­low on

guid­ed by Thee

Seeing not yet the hand that lead­eth me;

Hushed be my heart and still

Fear I no fur­ther ill;

Only to meet Thy will my will shall be.

Riven the rock for me thirst to re­lieve

Manna from Heav­en falls fresh ev­ery eve;

Never a want sev­ere caus­eth my eye a tear

But Thou dost whis­per near

On­ly be­lieve!

Often to Marah’s brink have I been brought;

Shrinking the cup to drink

help I have sought;

And with the pray­er’s as­cent

Jesus the branch hath rent—

Quickly re­lief hath sent

sweet­ening the draught.

Savior! I long to walk clos­er with Thee;

Led by Thy guid­ing hand ev­er to be;

Constantly near Thy side

Quickened and pu­ri­fied

Living for Him who died free­ly for me!
