Thou who on the cross didst make
1
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.
