57A.  Come, Follow Me

1
“Come, follow me,” the Savior said,
Then let us in his footsteps tread,
For thus alone can we be one
With God's own loved, begotten Son.

2
“Come, follow me,” a simple phrase,
Yet truth's sublime, effulgent rays
Are in these simple words combined
To urge, inspire the human mind.

3
Is it enough alone to know
That we must follow him below,
While trav'ling through this vale of tears?
No, this extends to holier spheres.

4
Not only shall we emulate
His course while in this earthly state,
But when we're freed from present cares,
If, with our Lord we would be heirs.
