Crowning Glory No. 2 ‎#51

51. Lift Me Higher

1 Lift me higher, Savior,
Nearer to Thy throne,
Make me purer, better,
Make me Thine alone.

2 I am poor and needy,
Weak and full of sin;
Make me meek and humble,
Jesus dwell within.

3 Guide my feeble footsteps
Thro' this world of strife,
Help me onward, Savior,
To a better life.

4 Let Thy grace illumine
My benighted soul,
Come, Thyself possess it,
Take and make me whole.
