Author: Jane E. Leeson Hymnal: The Hymnal #354 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics:
Savior, teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving him who first loved me.
With a childlike 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.
Amen.
