452. Saviour, teach me, day by day,

1 Saviour, teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson, to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving Him 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 Him 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 Him who first 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.

Amen.
