Lower and Lower

Verse 1

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.

Chorus

Lower and lower, down at thy cross, All the world’s treasure counting but dross; Down at thy feet, blessed Saviour, we fall, Lower, still lower, Christ all in all!

Verse 2

Lower and lower, dear Saviour, 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.

Verse 3

Lower and lower; yet higher we rise Lifted in Jesus, led on to the skies; Humbly we follow the way of the cross, Then, crowns of glory, and gain for all loss.
