American Old Time Song Lyrics: 17 Meek And Lowly

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 17

MEEK AND LOWLY

Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
Chief among the blessed three;
Turning sadness into gladness.
Heaven-born art thou, Charity.
Pity dwelleth in thy bosom,
Kindness reigneth o'er thy heart;
Gentle thoughts alone can sway thee,
Judgment with thee hath no part.

Chords.
Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
Chief among the blessed three;
Turning sadness into gladness.
Heaven-born art thou, Charity.

Hoping ever, failing never,
Though deceived, believing still;
Long abiding, all confiding
To thy heavenly Fathers will:
Never weary of well-doing,
Never fearful of the end;
Claiming all mankind as brothers,
Thou dost all alike defend.-Chorus.
