WA&rfING THE SAINT'S FEET
     6  Shall I, a worm, refuse to stoop ?
         My fellow worm disdain ?
       I give my vain distinctions up,
        Since Christ did wait on man.
     261               L. M.
                    Washing, Ac,
     1  /^OME brethren, we who love the Lord,
           Never depart from Jesus’ word;
       Let true humility abound
       Where’er the love of God is fotuid
     2  Remember when Christ was below,
       What condescension he did show;
       He did his dear disciples greet,
      And condescend to wash their feet.
     H 'If I your Lord and Master be,
       And you my best example see,
      You should each other kindly greet
       And ought to wash each others’ feet.
     / ‘ My servants cannot be greater
      Than I your Lord and Master dear ;
       And though the world siiouiu you despis*.
       It is well pleasing in my eyes.*
     4  And we who do this duty see.
       With others we’ll not disagree ;
       In lowest stoop we will them greet,
       We’ll eat our herbs and they their meat.
     262              L. M.
                    Washing, Ac.
     1 THAT the Lord would count me meet
           To wash his dear disciples’ feet;
