Down in the valley with my Savior I would go

1
Down in the valley with my Savior I would go,
Where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow;
Everywhere He leads me I would follow, follow on,
Walking in His footsteps till the crown be won.
 
Follow! follow! I would follow Jesus!
Anywhere, everywhere, I would follow on!
Follow! follow! I would follow Jesus!
  Everywhere He leads me I would follow on!
2
Down in the valley with my Savior I would go,
Where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow;
With His hand to lead me I will never, never fear,
Dangers cannot fright me if my Lord is near.
3
Down in the valley, or upon the mountain steep,
Close beside my Savior would my heart ever keep;
He will lead me safely in the path that He has trod,
Up to where they gather in the rest of God.
36

Revised version:

1. Henceforth, I'll follow Jesus, on whatever track:

Smooth and broad or rough and narrow, I'll follow Him.

Since my Lord Himself assists me, I will not shrink back.

All the way into the kingdom, foll'wing Him.

Chorus:

Follow! Follow! I will follow Jesus!

Though I know joy or woe, I will follow Him!

Follow! Follow! I will follow Jesus!

Anywhere He leads me, I will follow Him!

2. Henceforth, I'll follow Jesus, in whatever place:

Glad land or death-shadowed valley, I'll follow Him.

Since my Lord Himself protects me, I've no bitter face;

Everywhere, until my last step, foll'wing Him.

3. Henceforth, I'll follow Jesus, through whate'er befall:

Sunshine bright or cloudy darkness, I'll follow Him.

Since my Lord Himself arranged it, I've no cares at all;

Every moment till day's dawning, foll'wing Him.
