Author: William Cowper; Ann Taylor Gilbert Hymnal: The Sacred Harp #168 (1991) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Forgive the song that falls so low,
Beneath the gratitude I owe.
It means Thy praise however poor,
An angel’s song can do no more.
2. Great God, and wilt Thou condescend
To be my Father and my Friend.
I, a poor child, and thou, so high.
The Lord of earth, and air and sky. Languages: English Tune Title: COWPER
Forgive the song that falls so low
