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. Verse 2: 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. Verse 3: 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.
