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.

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.

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.

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.
