Teach me to love- this is my prayer,
May the compassion of Thy heart I share;
Ready a cup of water to give,
May I unselfishly for others live
To cheerless lives and bleak
But kindness I would speak,
The good of all I'd seek.
And whn I'm wronged by others,
Help me to smile and turn the cheek
Chorus
So in myheart
Thy goodness prove,
As Thou hast loved, O Lord,
teach me to love
Teach me to love this is my plea,
May all the Spirit's graces shine through me;
Tear from my heart
hate, foolish pride,
Teach me to live like Christ, the Crucified.
Help me to counteract,
With wise restraint and tact,
The tho'tliess word or act,
And when I hear dark rumors Not pass them on as truth or fact
Chorus
