Hymn 278 — Saviour, we long to follow Thee,
| 278 | J. G. DECK (1807-1884) | C.M. |
| 1 |
Saviour, we long to follow Thee, Do Thou our hearts prepare To count all else, whate'er it be, Unworthy of our care. | |
| 2 |
We are not now our own, but Thine, The purchase of Thy blood, And made, by grace and love divine, The sons and heirs of God. | |
| 3 |
Thy Spirit, too, the present seal Of all the Father's love, Dwells in us now and doth reveal The glorious rest above. | |
| 4 |
Thy life is now beyond the grave; Our souls Thou hast set free; Life, strength and grace in thee we have, And we are one with Thee. | |
| 5 |
O teach us so Thy power to know, As risen, Lord, with Thee, That we may own, while here below, Thyself our life to be. | |
