Music by Louis Spohr, words by James G. Deck
Savior, we long to follow You,
Daily our cross to bear,
And count all else, whate'er it be,
Unworthy of our care.
You died to save us for Your own
The purchase of Your blood
That we in love by grace alone
Made sons and heirs of God.
Your Spirit, too, the present seal
Of all the Father's love,
Dwells in our hearts and does reveal,
The glorious rest above.
O teach us so the power to know
Of risen life and free;
Not we may live while here below,
But Christ our life may be.
