First Line: Saviour, teach me, day by day,

Saviour, teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving Him who first loved me.
Teach me, I am not my own,
I am Thine and Thine alone ;
Thine to keep, to rule, to save,
From all sin that would enslave.

2 With a child's glad heart of love,
At Thy bidding may I move ;
Prompt to serve and follow Thee,
Loving Him who first loved me.
Tho' Thy will should cross my own,
May it instantly be done ;
Thus may I rejoice to show
That I feel the love I owe.

3 Thine, Lord, was a bitter cup,
Thou didst meekly drink it up ;
Thou, the Father's only Son,
Ever saidst, Thy will be done.
Teach me thus Thy steps to trace,
Strong to follow in Thy grace ;
Learning how to love from Thee,
Loving Him who so loved me.

4 Love in loving finds employ,
In obedience all her joy ;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving Him who first loved me.
Though a foolish child and weak,
More than this I need not seek ;
Singing till Thy face I see,
Of His love who first loved me.
