Footsteps of Jesus

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. [Refrain]  

3 If they lead thro' the temple holy,  
Preaching the Word,  
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,  
Serving the Lord. [Refrain]  

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. [Refrain]
