This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  I can hear my Savior calling,

    In the tend'rest accents calling;

    On my ear these words are falling,

    "Take thy cross, and daily follow me."

 

I will take my cross and follow,

My dear Savior I will follow,

Where He leads me I will follow,

I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

 

 2  Though the way be dark and dreary,

    Though my feet be worn and weary,

    Yet my heart keeps bright and cheery

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 

I will take my cross and follow,

My dear Savior I will follow,

Where He leads me I will follow,

I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

 

 3  Savior, ever go before me,

    Shining heaven's sunlight o'er me,

    And when weak, by grace restore me

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 

I will take my cross and follow,

My dear Savior I will follow,

Where He leads me I will follow,

I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

 

 4  Through the valley safely lead me,

    Heav'nly manna daily feed me;

    Every hour, dear Lord, I need Thee

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 

I will take my cross and follow,

My dear Savior I will follow,

Where He leads me I will follow,

I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

 

 5  In Thy heart's affection hold me,

    In Thy arms of love enfold me,

    And with Thine own grace uphold me,

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 

I will take my cross and follow,

My dear Savior I will follow,

Where He leads me I will follow,

I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

 

 6  I would never leave Thee, never;

    Faithful I would be forever;

    Nothing from Thy love can sever

    As I follow, follow all the way.

 

I will take my cross and follow,

My dear Savior I will follow,

Where He leads me I will follow,

I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.
