Saviour! 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.

Saviour! I long to walk
Closer with Thee;
Led by Thy guiding hand,

Would you see Jesus? come with prayer,
And heart repentant, to His feet;
None who will rightly seek Him there,
Shall fail His face of love to greet.

Would you see Jesus? come with faith,
And search the word His grace hath given,

For help and guidance in the path

That leads to His abode in heaven.

Would you see Jesus? day by day

Let thought and converse be on high, And hastening on the heavenward way, With Jesus live, with Jesus die.

"Go, preach my gospel," saith the Lord;
"Bid the whole earth my grace receive;
He shall be saved that trusts my word,
And he condemned who'll not believe.

"I'll make your great commission known;
And ye shall prove my gospel true,
By all the works that I have done,
By all the wonders ye shall do.

"Teach all the nations my commands;

I'm with you till the world shall end;
All power is trusted in my hands;
I can destroy, and I defend."

Zion, awake! behold the day!
Put on thy beautiful array!

Church of our God, arise and shine,
Bright with the beams of truth divine.

Soon shall thy radiance stream afar,
Wide as the heathen nations are ;
Gentiles and kings thy light shall view;
All shall admire, and love thee too.
