846. 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 How shall I my life employ?
Love will be my only joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving him who first loved me.

3 Teach me, Lord, thy steps to know,
By the way which thou didst go;
Ever keeping close to thee,
Loving him who first loved me.

4 So will I rejoice to show
All the love I feel and owe;
Ever serving, ever free,
Loving him who first loved me.
