Footprints of Jesus

Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling;
Come, follow me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling,
Lead us to Thee.

Chorus:
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus,
Where'er they go.

Though they lead o'er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along Siloam's fountains,
Helping the weak.

[Chorus]

If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.

[Chorus]

Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping,
We follow Thee;
Through the gloom of that place of weeping,
Gethsemane!

[Chorus]

If Thy way and its sorrows bearing,
We go again,
Up the slope of the hillside, bearing
Our cross of pain.

[Chorus]

By and by, through the shining portals,
Turning our feet,
We shall walk, with the glad immortals,
Heav'n's golden street.

[Chorus]

Then at last when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne.

[Chorus]
