Following Christ

   Let us run the race before us,
   Let us follow Christ our Guide,
   Let us grasp the Grace that's for us,
   With each worldly zeal denied.
      Foll'wing Christ the Great Amen,
      He shall bring us up to heav'n.
  
   We will fix our eyes on Jesus,
   Who's the Author of our Faith;
   With a joy that then shall seize us
   We shall run through Heaven's Gate.
      Foll'wing Christ who went before,
      Him we worship and adore.
  
   Praise the Lord, our Great Example,
   Praise Him, Mighty Potentate,
   Worship Him whose strength is ample
   We can run the narrow and straight!
      Foll'wing Christ our Mighty God,
      Boldly go where He has trod.

- D. Benning

This can be sung to the tune All Saints Old, or any tune with a 8.7.8.7.7.7 meter.
