Behold the Lord of earth and sky
1
Behold the Lord of earth and skyWith his poor followers meet!He girds himself as they wait by,To humbly wash their feet!
2
Didst thou, dear Lord, perform this taskFor men so low as we?While we obey, by faith we askTo have a part with thee.
3
Why should we blush thy will to do?Or shrink from following thee?We would the sacred scene renewOf thy humility.
4
Thy blessed promise we would claim,As now we humbly askThat thy sweet grace may in us frameTrue meekness for our task.
