Lower and lower, dear Lord, at Thy feet

Lower and lower

dear Lord

at Thy feet

Seeking Thy Spirit

Thy mercy so sweet;

Down in our need

blessed Master

we fall

Lower and lower; be Thou all in all.

Lower and lower

down at Thy cross

All the world’s treasure counting but dross;

Down at Thy feet

blessed Savior

we fall

Lower

still lower

Christ all in all!

Lower and lower

dear Savior

we pray

Losing the self-life still more every day;

Weak and unworthy

we’re looking above:

Empty us wholly; then fill us with love.

Lower and lower; yet higher we rise

Lifted in Christ

freed from all the earth ties:

Humbly we follow the way of the cross.

Then

crowns of glory

and gain for all loss.
