Original Trinity Hymnal, #503
Through good report and evil, Lord,
Still guided by thy faithful Word,
Our staff, our buckler, and our sword,
We follow thee.
With enemies on ev'ry side,
We lean on thee, the Crucified;
Forsaking all on earth beside,
We follow thee.
O Master, point thou out the way,
Nor suffer thou our steps to stray;
Then in the path that leads to day
We follow thee.
Thou hast passed on before our face;
Thy footsteps on the way we trace:
O keep us, aid us by thy grace;
We follow thee.
Whom have we in the heav'n above,
Whom on this earth, save thee, to love?
Still in thy light we onward move;
We follow thee.
