1.    Deeper, still deeper, into Thy love,
       What else e’er charms me, Lord Jesus, remove;
       Earth clouds and self-will bid Thou depart,
       Be Thou enthroned in this poor, yearningheart

2.    Broken, more broken, fain would I be,
       Ever rememb’ring dark Calvary’s tree,
       Seeing Thy hands, Thy feet and Thy side,
       Knowing naught else but my Lord crucified.

3.    Lower, still lower, down at Thy cross,
       Till all life’s treasure are counted but dross;
       Home, parents, brethren, wife, children, lands,
       Gladly foregone through Thy nail-pierced hands.

4.    Power, more power, this Lord, I need,
       That with glad tidings my feet now may speed;
       Filled with Thy Spirit, now let me be,
       Only and always devoted to Thee.

5.    Higher, still higher, on faith’s strong wings,
       Till all my being exultingly sings-
       Praise, honour, glory, wisdom and might,
       Be unto Thee, Who turned darkness to light.

6.    Rapture, yes rapture, when I shall rise,
       With glorious triumph through yonder skies;
       Then shall I see Thee, be like Thee and reign,
       With Thee for ever, Thou blest Lamb once slain.
