Traditional Shaker hymn, arranged by Malcolm Dalglish. “Lay Me Low,” a divinely inspired “Gift” song, was received by Addah Z. Potter of the New Lebanon, New York, Shaker order on April 15, 1883. It is conjectured that the melody was influenced by a Native American Indian chant. The spirit of God in Shaker theology is often a mother figure.
