Author: Jane Eliza Leeson, 1807-1882 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #698 (1997) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 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. Topics: Children and Youth Love; Christian Nurture / Teaching; Discipleship; One Life in Christ Love Scripture: 2 Peter 3:7 Languages: English Tune Title: SIMPLICTY
