1. Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling, “Come, follow Me!” And we see where Thy footprints falling Lead us to Thee.
Refrain: Footprints of Jesus, That make the pathway glow; We will follow the steps of Jesus Where’er they go.
2. Tho they lead o’er the cold, dark mountains, Seeking His sheep; Or along by Siloam’s fountains, Helping the weak:
3. If they lead thru the temple holy, Preaching the Word, Or in homes of the poor and lowly, Serving the Lord:
4. Then at last, when on high He sees us, Our journey done, We will rest where the steps of Jesus End at His throne.
