A meek and lowly follower of the Lamb,
She more than conquer’d all thro’ Jesus Name,
Wash’d in his blood, and kept her garments white,
And blameless walk’d in her Redeemer’s sight
Till fill’d with love, she fainted on his breast,
And found within his Arms her Everlasting Rest.
A meek and lowly follower of the Lamb
