We Bow to Thee, O Lord

We bow to Thee

O Lord

on high;

To Thee our hearts in­cline;

Submitting to Thy Word

we pray

Thy will be done

not mine.

Lord

as this so­lemn rite we keep

With joy we wor­ship Thee;

May we with hum­ble hearts

O Lord

Thy faith­ful serv­ants be.

The high­est sta­tion here on earth

Is at our Sav­ior’s feet;

’Tis there we learn our mas­ter’s will

We find the mer­cy seat.

Our Sav­ior

tho’ our mas­ter

Lord

In true hu­mil­ity

By act­ion taught that we might see

The great must serv­ants be.

A pat­tern He did kind­ly give

To His dis­ci­ples true:

He washed their feet

then said to them

Do as I’ve done to you.

Then af­ter­wards He said to them

Go forth (I go with you)

And teach all na­tions ev­ery­thing

That I com­mand you do.

Then teach us

Lord

to do Thy will

Whatever that may be:

May Thy free grace at­tend us here

And in eter­ni­ty.
