Tune:[I will early seek the Savior]
Composer:Fred A. Fillmore (1856-1929)

539. I Will Early Seek the Savior

1 I will early seek the Savior,
I will learn of Him each day;
I will follow in His footsteps,
I will walk the narrow way.

Refrain
For He loves me, yes, He loves me,
Jesus loves me, this I know.
Jesus loves me, died to save me,
This is why I love Him so.

2 I will hasten where He bids me,
I am not too young to go
In the pathway where He leadeth,
Not too young His will to know. [Refrain]

3 He is standing at the doorway
Of escape from every sin;
I will knock, for He has promised,
He will hear and let me in. [Refrain]
