Lyrics
Teach Me to Love
Poem by Louise Wheatley Cook Hovnanian
Music by Carl Fredrickson
Today I have but one petition, Lord
Teach me to love
Indeed it is my greatest and my only need
Teach me to love not only those who first love me
But all the world with that rare purity
Which holds in its embrace humanity
And only seems to see
The good in all reflected, Lord, from Thee
And teach me, Father, how to love the most
Those who most stand in need of love
Who toil along the road with footsteps slow
And hearts more heavy than the world can know
I want to bring them comfort and relief
To put my hand in theirs and at their side
Walk softly on, a faithful, fearless guide
Help me to seek
And find that which they thought was lost to speak
Such words of cheer that as we pass along
The wilderness shall blossom into song
Teach me to love
Indeed, it is my greatest and my only need
Thou knowest God above
My one desire now
Teach me to love
