"We love Him, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
Lyrics
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.
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.
This Sunday was the first time I had ever sung this hymn. I thought it a great hymn and hope we sing it again soon. It fit really well with today's Sermon on God's Love.
This Hymn was written by Jane E Leeson as a children's hymn/sung prayer. She primarily wrote poems, some of which were turned into hymns.
"She was a member of a strange and spurious sect known as the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church" this church met in Bishopgate. (source) Later in life she joined the Roman Catholic Church.
Miss Leeson wrote 13 hymns that are remembered, this is one of her most commonly sung hymns. For information on the hymns she wrote you can visit this site. Beyond that, we don't know a whole lot more about this poet.
