Sweet Humility

Verse 1

Humility, O grace so sweet! Come, dwell within my heart; Oh, press me to my Savior’s feet; There lowliness impart.

Chorus

Come softly from thy throne above, O grace so sweet and fair; Come, touch my heart in gentle love, And scatter meekness there.

Verse 2

Humility, in Christ complete, I seek thy pleasant ways; For lowly place at Jesus’ feet My heart with longing prays.

Verse 3

Humility, the sweetest cup Of which my heart e’er drank! I’ve taken but one little sup, But deep within it sank.

Verse 4

Humility, O gift divine, Thine odors fill the air; And while our hearts to thee incline, Oh, shed thy fragrance there.

Verse 5

O sink my heart to nothingness, Down, down to lowly planes; Then up, far up in joyfulness, My soul in glory reigns.

Verse 6

O heaven’s grace—humility! Thy cherished charm I’ll wear; I must be humble, Lord, like Thee, Thy holy image bear.
