Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Low at thy feet, oh God, I fall Lyrics: 1. Low at thy feet, oh God, I fall,Be thou my light, my strength, my all,In times of deep distress;On thee I cast my loads of care,To thee I make my earnest prayer,And all my guilt confess.2. Though great the score, still, Lord, I cry,Oh be that mercy ever nigh,Procured by blood divine;To one so vile, thy grace display,Take all my crimson stains away,And tell me I am thine.3. One word from thee will give relief,One look alleviate my grief,And sacred peace afford;Thy promises so rich and free,Are made to sinners such as meOh hear thy servant, Lord.
