| He [Jesus] sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. (Mark 9:35) |
| He that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. (Matt. 23:11‑12) |
| Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up. (James 4:10) |
Lord, since we sing as pilgrims,
Oh give us pilgrims’ ways!
Low thoughts of self, befitting
Proclaimers of Thy praise;
Oh make us each more holy,
In spirit, pure and meek:
More like to heavenly citizens,
As more of heaven we speak. |
