1.

O loving God, Thou God of grace, I pray Thee,
Help me abide in true humility,
That I might ever be with them Thou leadest
To greater glory, constantly.

Chorus:

Thanks for the Word of hope from Thee:
That all the humble from their sin can be set free.
Among this flock, O let me be;
Sufficient is Thy grace for me.

2.

’Tis only humble souls whom Thou canst fashion;
In them Thy deep transforming work takes place.
Alone can they be vessels unto honor
And know Thee as the God of grace.

3.

That all Thy Word be lived is Thy desire;
For this Thou givest pow’r abundantly.
O let Thy grace not be in vain imparted;
May I show forth Thy love to me.

4.

May I with joy walk humbly, Lord, before Thee
And let Thy Spirit freely work inside;
For to exalt the humble is Thy promise.
May I in lowliness abide.
