The first two lines are "Let us ever walk with Jesus, / Follow His example pure," sung to these musical phrases:
Excepting the first note, these two phrases are entirely conjunct (they don't skip over any notes in the scale), and this gives a musical impression of that "walk[ing]" and "follow[ing]." The first verse ends with the line "I shall follow where You guide," sung to the same phrase that's in the last two measures above, and this too has that musical impression of "follow[ing]" step by step.
