Saviour, we long to follow Thee,
Daily Thy cross to bear,
And count all else, whate'er it be,
Unworthy of our care.
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.
Thy Spirit, too, the present seal
Of all the Father's love,
Dwells in our souls and does reveal
The glorious rest above.
Thy life is now beyond the grave;
Our souls Thou hast set free;
Life, strength and grace in Thee we have,
For we are one with Thee.
Oh teach us so the power to know
Of risen life with Thee;
Not we may live while here below,
But Christ our life may be.
