Savior, teach me day by day
Love’s sweet les­son to ob­ey,
Sweeter les­son can­not be,
Loving Him who first loved me.

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.

Teach me thus 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.
