I'll follow Thee, Lamb of God

I’ll follow Thee, Lamb of God,
Walk on the way Thou hast trod.
Bearing Thy death within me,
I’ll follow only Thee.
(2 Cor. 4:10)

Chorus:

O Lamb of God, glory to Thee
Who called me for Thy bride.
Thou who hast made the way back to God,
Soon I’ll be at Thy side!

Give me a spirit of zeal;
To me each sin, Lord, reveal,
Which would imprison my mind;
Let me be wholly Thine.

Teach me to battle in faith,
Never to rest, but in haste
Straight to the goal onward run;
Thou art my goal, God’s Son.

I must not tire in the fight.
Teach me to run, Lord, just right,
Faithfully follow Thy trail
And in Thy love to dwell.

Jesus, the bride is Thy prize;
She is so fair in Thine eyes.
Yielding her will in each thing
Oneness with Thee doth bring.

Jesus, Thou art my one goal;
Thou art so fair to my soul.
I’ve peace and comfort in Thee;
Thanks for Thy love to me!
