Teach Us, O Lord

Teach us, O Lord, with all our heart,
With all our soul, and all our mind;
To love Thee with a steadfast love:
This Law, a statute most sublime.

And likewise to our neighbor show,
A sacrificial love like Thee;
Who offered up Thine only Son,
To bear our sin and set us free.

O Lord our God, to Thee we cry,
Have mercy on us now we pray;
Incline our hearts to keep this Law,
And lead us in the perfect way.
