I am always emotional, and especially as we were preparing to receive the Eucharist, when singing the last verse.
Lord, let me see your footmarks,
And in them plant my own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in your strength alone.
O, guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then in heaven receive me,
My Saviour and my Friend.
And in them plant my own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in your strength alone.
O, guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then in heaven receive me,
My Saviour and my Friend.
There are, of course, many tunes but we sing Wolvercote which I prefer.

Thanks for posting this; though I thought I knew the hymn I don't believe I have ever sung this last verse -- left out of some American hymnals perhaps. It is very stirring.
Thanks for visiting c.w.s. Your blog seems to be a treasure trove of hymns. I must visit regularly and learn
Thank you for this- I do not know that hymn and I loved hearing it on the organ and reading the words.
Prayers for you always my friend!
