Lofty Lowly Servants lyrics

The king wears a crown

The pope wears a meiter

A king is a self-guided ruler

A pope, a lowly shepherd

Though attired in lofty gown

Hope, the prospective lighter

The king is the fooler

The pope is the wiser

One is high, so to stumble

The other, lowly and humble

Majestic might so far, so very dear

The other so distant, yet ever so near

Humility is the realm of regality

Kindness given graciously

Not of station or vocation

Seen beyond all intention

By God's goodness for man

Given unceasingly so we understand
