Followers of Christ 1972 - 1974

Sessional Picture

Sessional Members (Cadets)

1. The Call of Christ in this our age
Still bids us urgently engage
In doing here His work again
And His uncJ1angi.ng truth proclaim;
Who dares this calling to pursue?
Must share His burning passion too;
0 Lord who called us now prepare,
And make us fit Thy cause to share.

2. Who heeds Christ's call accepts the cross
Not counting sacrifice as loss;
For all who for His sake shall leave
His goods or dear ones shall achieve
A life enriched a hundred fold,
And crowning glories yet untold;
0 Lord who called us now prepare,
And make us strong our cross to bear.

Refrain:

Theme -
He has called us to be Followers,
Our allegiance have we sworn.
We're determined to defend His cause
Where the battle lines are drawn,
For Christ our Leader shall enable us
Nothing needful shall we lack,
And since He called us to be Followers
There is no turning back.

 

Descant-
Following Jews, ever day by day
Nothing can harm me while
He leads the way;
In sunshine or darkness,
Whate'er may befall,
Jesus, my Saviour, is my all in all.
Jesus said - "If any man - if any man will follow Me,
Let him deny himself and take up his cross."

Finale -
To keep the Faith thru good or ill;
Our calling and our trust fulfil,
As Followers of Christ we will.
