I ask not for the highest place
But find a spot more sweet
Where God bestows on me His grace
At my Redeemer’s feet.
Come joy or pain
come weal or woe
In Christ I am complete;
My highest place is lying low
Tho’ waves of darkness round me roll
I have a safe retreat;
No storm can ever harm a soul
He gives me from His loving hand
The finest of the wheat;
I live in Heaven’s border land
And when I reach the mystic sea
Where earth and Heaven meet
I’ll spend a blest eternity
