I LOVE TO WALK WITH JESUS
1. O I love to walk with Jesus
Like the publican of old,
When He gathered them about Him
And the blessed tidings told;
How He came to bring deliv’rance
To the captives in distress,
Take away our ev’ry burden,
Giving perfect peace and rest
Chorus:
I will follow where He leadeth,
I will pasture where He feedeth
I will follow all the way, Lord,
I will follow Jesus ev’ry day.
2. O I love to walk with Jesus
Like the man of long ago,
Who had tarried by the wayside
Near the gates of Jericho;
Jesus heard his cry for mercy,
Gave him back his sight that day,
And immediately he followed
Jesus all along the way.
3. O I love to walk with Jesus
All the way to Calv’ry’s brow,
Gaze upon that scene of suff’ring,
While my tears of sorrows flow;
There He tells me how He loves
me,
Takes my ev’ry sin away;
So I follow Him so gladly,b
Lead me anywhere He may.
4. O sometime I’ll walk with Jesus
In the land of endless day,
When our journey here is over
And we’ve reached our home to
stay;
Then I’ll walk with Him forever,
Sing His praises o’er and o’er,
Laugh and shout, and ever tell Him
That I love Him more and more.
