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 I am not my own,
I am Thine, and Thine alone;
Thine to keep, to rule, to save
From all sin that would enslave.

4
Love in loving finds employ,
In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving Him who first loved me.

5
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.

Notes

Obedience to God is a result of a loving relationship with Him. When we pray, “Lord, teach me how to obey,” we are also praying, “Lord, enable me to obey”. Then, obedience becomes a result of allowing God to make you submissive to His will. (Lesson 4, 2nd Quarter 2021 – Thursday, Covenant Obligations, 4/22/2021)
