Savior Teach Me Day by Day
We sang this song in our evening service tonight. Perhaps we have sung it at our church before but I don’t remember it if we have. This is the sweetest little children’s song you ever wanted to hear. You know how many of the children’s songs sound, it’s hard to explain what a delight those little childish rhythms are. The words of this one are great to teach to your preschoolers and primary kids.
I just thought this was the perfect opportunity to remind folks of the calendar that we publish which is inspired by this hymn. We even titled it the same. This is a do-it-yourself calendar; the children color the pictures for each month, fill in the monthly Bible verse, and keep up with the birthdays and other special days of the year with “stickers” they cut out and glue on. Many character building lessons are sprinkled throughout.
It’s a seasonal product – available from the September through January months. I’ve given it to students in my Sunday school class on several occasions (when the class is small). It just occurred to me that maybe it would be a good idea to sell slightly larger quantities to teachers at a reduced price. Maybe we could do that if given sufficient advanced notice. Hmmm. I’ll think about that and talk to Bev. If so, we’ll let you know this summer.
Now for the words of this delightful hymn, which teaches an important truth for all ages-we love Jesus, because He first loved us: (Tune here)
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
~ Jane E. Leeson
Hope this is the beginning of a blessed week for all.
