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 Savior, we fall,
  Lower, still lower, Christ all in all!
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.
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.
(Chorus:)
  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!
