416 Lower and lower, dear Lord, at Thy feet, 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. 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.
