Rise Follow Me
{ Rise Follow Me! Mt 16:25 LOVING KINDNESS-William Caldwell (arr. John J. Ov erholt) Rise, Follow Me! } Rise, follow Me! our Master saith, All ye who make My yoke thy choice, Deny thyself, be true till death, And follow where ye hear My voice; Forsake this world, nor count it loss, Nail thy affections to the cross. Yea, he who seeks to save his life Shall find his way without Me vain; But if he'll lose it in the strife, He'll find it in his God again; Who follows not the cross in all, Is not then worthy of My call! O help me follow Thee, dear Lord, As Thy true servants did of old, Forsaking all to do Thy will In suff'rings calm, in dangers bold, Would like them Thy servant be, In life, in death, eternally! |
