The Excelsior Hymnal ‎#115

115. Teach Us

1 Jesus, Saviour, unto Thy throne we are sending this pray’r,
Teach us, teach us, teach us Thy wonderful work to share;
We would seek noble and glorious things,
Highest that life affords;
We would gain wisdom and all that it brings,
All that Thy grace accords.

Refrain:
Teach us, teach us, teach us the holy desire of our quest,
Teach us, teach us, teach us in all things to choose the best.

2 Jesus, Saviour, all that we seek is embodied in Thee,
Teach us, teach us loyal disciples of Thine to be;
Thus from the myriad lessons of life,
Ever we’ll choose the best;
Thus shall success be our prize in the strife,
Crowning our earthly quest. [Refrain]
