Teach Me to Love

GISEL A. BAUMGART

Teach me to love,
Forget illusive wrongs;
Teach me to praise
  With grateful, joyous songs;
Teach me to think
  A gracious, kindly way,
Teach me, dear God,
  In Love alone to stay.

Teach me to love,
  So little children's eyes
May lighten up
  With confidential joys;
Teach me to be
  Compassionate and just,
Teach me, dear God,
  In Love alone to trust.

Teach me to love,
  And like the Master see;
Teach me to give
  Of all Thou givest me;
Teach me to know
  The truth Thy Word revealed,
For by this truth
  All error's claims are healed.
