LyicsSaviour! 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.
