FOLLOW ON TO KNOW

1. Wandering without a Saviour,
    Led by thy thoughts all vain,
    Hear now His tender pleading,
    “Give Me thy heart to reign”.
    Now in much pain and anguish,
    Seeking the rest you need,
    Feel now His touch of kindness,
    He will thy hunger feed.

        CHORUS

   Hid in His wings of mercy,
   Covert from tempest strong,
   And looking to Almighty,
   Never canst thou go wrong.
   Eyes of the blind shall see Him,
   Ears of the deaf shall hear,
   Ready to speak most plainly,
   When thou shalt cast off fear.

2. Setting His love upon thee,
    He will thee surely save,
    Call upon Him to answer,
    Freely His life He gave.
    With thee He stays in trouble,
    Known to Him is thy name,
    Young lions lack and hunger,
    Not those of trusting frame.

3. Looking from Heav’n of glory,
    He will His strength display,
    Bowels of mercy t’ward thee
    When thou begin to pray.
    How can God’s love restrain Him?
    How can His works be stayed?
    Fields are now ripe to harvest,
    Faint heart be not dismayed.

4. Following on to know Him,
    Former and latter rain,
    Brightly prepared as morning,
    Thee to revive again.
    Lord of all glory promised,
    Ne’er can deny His Word,
    Pray for the show’rs now falling,
    Pray all with one accord.

5. Gladly to rejoice and praise Him,
    Glory to Him be due,
    Lion of Judah triumphed,
    He maketh all things new.
    Glist’ning the garments for thee,
    Like sun in radiancy.
    Hearken, beloved daughter,
    Thee hath He made worthy.
