Text:Low at the Cross

6. Low at the Cross

1 Low at the foot of Calvary's cross,
A waiting, seeking soul i kneel;
Counting all earthly gain but loss,
And longing for Thy Spirit's seal;
Come, Lord, and with Thy touch divine,
Fire with Thy love this heart of mine.

2 I would Thy life reflect below,
And daily in Thine image shine;
For this the Holy Ghost bestow,
Baptize me with a love like Thine;
Exchange my weakness for Thy might,
And flood my soul with heavenly light.

3 Come, Holy Ghost, my heart inspire,
For this my all to Thee I give;
My only joy, my heart's desire,
Henceforth for souls alone to live;
Now, let me prove Thy love divine,
And realize its fulness mine.
