“Caleb... wholly followed the Lord.”
Caleb-like, I’d still be following,
Lord and Saviour, following Thee;
All I am, and have, and shall be,
All I would, and all I can be,
Wholly following, following Thee.
From all creature objects turning,
Wholly following, following Thee;
By Thy Word all wrong detecting,
Day by day Thyself reflecting,
Wholly following, following Thee.
Turning to Thyself my vision,
Wholly following, following Thee;
On Thy virtues ever dwelling,
Living streams within me welling,
Wholly following, following Thee.
Changed from glory into glory,
Wholly following, following Thee;
Known, the bliss of living union,
Perfect, undisturbed communion,
Wholly following, following Thee.
Watered by the dews of heaven,
Wholly following, following Thee;
Till, like Caleb, Canaan sharing,
All Thy faithfulness declaring,
I shall rest, and rest with Thee.
