ANGELS' SONGS FROM THE GOLDEN CITY OF THE BLESSED

With eager steps I ran lifers race,
I strove for wealth and not for grace;
The world's joys came, but in my soul
I found that these could not console.
Then I heard the voice of Jesus say,
In His kind and ever gentle way,
" Follow Me, follow Me,
Take thy cross and I'll guide thee!
Follow Me, follow Me
From earth to eternity!"
Soon did I find that wealth takes wings,
And that each selfish joy e'er brings
Sorrow and pain and bitter loss
'Twas then I turned and saw the cross.
Then I heard the voice of Jesus say.
In His kind and ever gentle way,
" Follow Me, follow Me,
Take thy cross and I'll guide thee!
Follow Me, follow Me
From earth to eternity!"
I came and cried,
" Thou dost console !
I've lost the world but found my soul !
Till sorrow came I knew Thee not,
And that Thy blood my soul had bought I"
Then I heard the voice of Jesus say
In His kind and ever gentle way,
" Follow Me, follow Me,
Take thy cross and I'll guide thee!
Follow Me, follow Me
From earth to eternity!"
