well. I know His voice; this now my choice— Fol low where the Lamb would lead.

2. When He came, though many followed in the way, 3. Lord we pray, preserve us faithful in the way
Few remained who knew Him and His ways. All our days, never to fall away.
Lamb of God—He took the narrow gate; By Your grace, keep us pursuing You,
The constricted way to life He traced; Taking up the cross to follow You.
Sacrificed, though men denied Him; Consecrate we unreservedly,
Gave His life, though men forsook Him. Absolute for You entirely.
How can we t’ward Him still hardened be In our hearts, Lord, let the highways be
When to us He gave all selflessly? Unto Zion single-heartedly.

Now we will follow Him!

To His call we’re answering,
All we are we’re offering.
New Jerusalem we see
Come down from heav’n to earth!
God and man mingled now,
Our oneness we avow
Eternally, O gloriously!
This is where the Lamb would lead!
