FOLLOWING CHRIST.

With willing hearts we tread
The path the Saviour trod;
We love the example of our Head,
The glorious Lamb of God.
On Thee, on Thee alone,
Our hope and faith rely,—
O Thou, who didst for sin atone,
Who didst for sinners die!
We trust Thy sacrifice;
To Thy dear cross we flee.
Oh, may we die to sin, and rise
To life and bliss with Thee.
