Lyics

Saviour! teach me, day by day,

Love's sweet lessons to obey;

Sweeter lessons can not be,

Loving him who first loved me.



With a child-like heart of love,

At thy bidding may I move;

Prompt to serve and follow thee,

Loving him who first loved me.



Teach me all thy steps to trace,

Strong to follow in thy grace;

Learning how to love from thee,

Loving him who first loved me.



Love in loving finds employ--

In obedience all her joy;

Ever new that joy will be,

Loving him who first loved me.



Thus may I rejoice to show

That I feel the love I owe;

Singing, till thy face I see,

Of his love who first loved me.
