Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
“Come, follow Me!”
And we see where Thy footprints falling
Lead us to Thee.
If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.
Then at last when on high He sees us,
Our journey done.
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne.
Footprints of Jesus
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.
– Mary B. C. Slade (1871)
