Footsteps of Jesus
==================
w: Mary Bridges Canedy Slade, 1871
m: Asa B. Everett, 1871

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
Though they lead o'er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along by Siloam's fountains,
Helping the weak.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.

[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping,
We follow Thee;
Through the gloom of that place of weeping,
Gethsemane!

[Refrain]

[Verse 5]
If Thy way and its sorrows bearing,
We go again,
Up the slope of the hillside, bearing
Our cross of pain.

[Refrain]

[Verse 6]
By and by, through the shining portals,
Turning our feet,
We shall walk, with the glad immortals,
Heav'n's golden street.

[Refrain]

[Verse 7]
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]
