Where His Footprints Go

Author: L. E. J. Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Jesus sought me while I wandered Refrain First Line: Where his footprints go, I'll follow Lyrics: 1 Jesus sought me while I wandered In the ways of sin and woe; Placed me on the blessed highway, Where my Saviour's footprints go. Chorus: Where his footprints go, I'll follow, Gladly follow, all the way; Peace, I find, and rest, for naught can there molest, Where my Saviour's footprints go. 2 Tho the hosts of sin assail me, And life's shadows deeper grow, Yet I'm safe while on the pathway, Where my Saviour's footprints go. [Chorus] 3 In green pastures oft he leadeth, Where the quiet waters flow; 'Tis a path of wondrous beauty, Where my Saviour's footprints go. [Chorus] 4 There are mansions up in heaven All prepared for me, I know; And to reach them I will follow, Where my Saviour's footprints go. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Jesus sought me while I wandered]
