1 Saviour, teach me day by day
love's sweet lesson to obey;
sweeter lesson cannot be,
loving God who first loved me.

2 With a child's glad heart of love
at thy bidding may I move,
prompt to serve and follow thee,
loving God who first loved me.

3 Teach me thus thy steps to trace,
strong to follow in thy grace,
learning how to love from thee,
loving God who first loved me.

4 Love in loving finds employ,
in obedience all its joy;
ever new that joy will be,
loving God who first loved me.
