Low¤ly at Thy feet, my Sav¤iour,
Plead¤ing for Thy par¤doning grace,
I would seek Thy smile and fa¤vour;
Do not hide from me Thy face.
Of¤ten heart and flesh ¤would fail me;
Help me, Sav¤iour, from a¤bove;
Sweet the thought my heart re¤tain¤eth:
I am ¤not be¤yond Thy love.

Chorus:
Not be¤yond the love of Je¤sus,
His un¤meas¤ured wealth of love;
Sweet the thought my heart re¤tain¤eth:
I am ¤not be¤yond Thy love.

Hush, my heart, thy Sav¤iour speak¤eth–
Strained, my ear to catch His word;
Peace that pass¤eth un¤der¤stand¤ing,
Strength and life it doth af¤ford.
Bound¤less is His love ¤and mer¤cy,
Deep¤er than the deep¤est sea,
Vast, un¤end¤ing, nev¤er fail¤ing,
Sure for ¤all e¤ter¤ni¤ty.

’Tis not sac¤ri¤fice nor of¤ferings,
But my bod¤y He re¤quires
For His home and hab¤i¤ta¤tion;
Shall I yield to His de¤sires?
Can I, lis¤tening to ¤His plead¤ings,
Still re¤fuse and say Him nay?
Love be¤gets the love He ask¤eth:
Lord, I ¤yield with¤out de¤lay.
