Lower than the angels,
The Lord of glory see,
From on high descending,
In love for you and me.
Higher than the angels,
In heights of glory see
The Lord ascend to heaven,
In glorious majesty.
See Him passing angels,
Far above them there
In that place of glory
He means with us to share.
LOWER, HIGHER, view Him,
Oh, thy lowly Savior see,
Until in heaven’s glory
To Him we bow the knee.
