Lower and lower, dear Lord, at Thy feet

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! |

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. |

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. |

A deeply moving song of one who has tasted the sweetness of the Lord's life and love flowing from the cross. A lover of the Lord cannot have a true enjoyment of Him in any other way. Thank you deeply for this precious hymn.

Melancholy has been a mood of mine of late as I walk with my dad through cancer and this song struck to my heart. It will not be the hymn I learn for April, as part of my hymn a month project.
