WASHING THE SAINTS’ FEET.

258 C. M.
Christ’s example in washing his disciples’ feet.
John, ch. xlii
1 FVD Christ the great example lead
L-' For all his humble train,
In washing the disciples’ feet,
And wiping them again ?
2 And did my Lord and Master say
* If I have washed your feet,
Ye also ought to watch and pray,
And wash each others’ feet ? ’
3 O blessed Jesus at thy board
I have thy children met;
The bread I’ve broke, the wine I’ve poured,
We’ve washed each others’ feet,
4 In imitation of my Lord,
Whose blood for me did sweat,
I yield unto his sacred word,
And wash the pilgrims’ feet.
5 Yea, blessed Jesus, I like thee,
Would Christians often meet ;
The least of all the flock would be.
And wash his children’s feet.
6 For this let men reproach defame,
And call me what they will ;
I still would follow Christ the Lamb,
And be his servant still.
259 L. M.
The Spirit’s aid implored.
I I'VE me thy Spirit, O my God,
Then I can well all trials meet,
