Four 7's [1361]Buckland: Leighton G. Hayne, 1863 Jane E. Leeson, 1842 Savior, teach me, day by day, Love's sweet lesson to obey; Sweeter lesson cannot be, Loving him who first loved me. With a childlike heart of love, At thy bidding may I move; Prompt to serve and follow thee, Loving him who first loved me. Teach me all 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. Amen. |
