Text: | There is no work too humble |
Author: | Kate Cameron |
Tune: | SCHUMANN |
Composer: | Robert Schumann |
1 There is no work too humble
For Christian hands to do;
There is no path too lowly
For our feet to pursue;
Our blessed Lord and Master
Was servant unto all;
None were too poor and needy
For him to heed their call.
2 If we are his disciples,
Called by his holy name,
A portion of his Spirit
We surely ought to claim.
And though the task be menial
Which he for us hath set,
His own divine example
We never should forget.
3 That he, the High and Holy,
Whose life-work was complete,
Should gird himself for labor,
And wash those humble feet!
And yet we shrink from duties
Which seem so far above
This deed of Christ-like meekness,
This tender proof of love!
