This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

We give ourselves to follow the churches,

Oneness in Christ display;

Follow His move in all of the churches,

Stand fast as one this way.

 

We must follow the Spirit

In all simplicity.

In our spirit is Jesus —

He follows perfectly!

 
 2 

We give ourselves to follow the followers,

By this we truly learn;

Never desiring to be the leaders,

But to the Spirit turn.

 

We must follow the Spirit

In all simplicity.

In our spirit is Jesus —

He follows perfectly!

 
 3 

We give ourselves the flock's steps to follow,

Knowing the Shepherd's care.

Now in the churches Jesus is leading

And He is speaking there.

 

We must follow the Spirit

In all simplicity.

In our spirit is Jesus —

He follows perfectly!

 
 4 

We give ourselves to Thee, O Lord Jesus,

Never to turn aside;

Where'er the Lamb goes, there we would follow,

Follow whate'er betide.

 

We must follow the Spirit

In all simplicity.

In our spirit is Jesus —

He follows perfectly!

 
 5 

We give ourselves to enter the kingdom,

That marriage feast, with Him;

Come persecution, suffering, and trials,

Still we will enter in.

 

We must follow the Spirit

In all simplicity.

In our spirit is Jesus —

He follows perfectly!

 
 6 

Christ wants some followers here in the churches,

Followers of whom to say:

"These saw My purpose, followed Me wholly" —

May we be those today!

 

We must follow the Spirit

In all simplicity.

In our spirit is Jesus —

He follows perfectly!
