Vs 1
Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown? Will you let my name be known?
Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?

Vs. 2
Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare, Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?

Vs 3.
Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?
Will you set the pris'ners free and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean, and do such as this unseen?
And admit to what I mean in you and you in me?

Additional verses available

(I have heard this song done at many different tempos. I've always preferred it a little slower so you can enjoy the words. This is just slightly below the 52bpm that was indicated in the sheet music)
