Thou who on the cross didst makeSacrifice complete for me;Thou who didst for my poor sakeSuffer on the cursèd tree;Thou didst teach submission sweetWashing thy disciples' feet.

2

O my soul! and shalt thou scornThus to do as He hath done?—Thou a wretched, dying worm:He the blessed, sinless One!—Gladly would I wash his feet,Bowing in submission sweet.

3

Such a joy may not be mine,Thus to prove my love for thee;Such a privilege divineThou hast never given me;But, in blest submission sweet,I may wash thy servant's feet.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «1115» (large) in the left column of p. 379, below stanza 3 of hymn 1114 and «Augustus M. Toplady.» (and a wavy rule), with the reference line «768, 956,» in bold italic figures beside it (sing to the tunes of hymns 768 ROSEFIELD or 956 GETHSEMANE, both 7s. 6l.; no meter is printed — the lines 7.7.7.7.7.7 are 7s. 6l.); the line ends with a comma, not a period (the same figure as the comma between the numbers). The first word «THOU» is set in capitals and small capitals. Stanzas numbered «1»–«3» without periods (written «1.»–«3.» here, as in the other deliveries of this book). Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print; lines 5–6 stand at the margin of line 1. «cursèd» carries a grave accent in the print. «He» (stanza 2, line 2) is capitalized and set in a slightly larger type. The printer's thin space before «; ! ? :» («me ;», «tree ;», «soul !», «done ?—», «worm :», «One !—», «thee ;», «me ;») is closed up here; the apostrophes are written straight. The signature is printed «Mrs. L. D A Stuttle.» in italics — with no periods after «D» and «A» (elsewhere in this book «Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle.»); it is given as printed. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
