1 Behold the Lord of earth and sky With his poor followers meet! He girds himself as they wait by, To humbly wash their feet!
2 Didst thou, dear Lord, perform this task For men so low as we? While we obey, by faith we ask To have a part with thee.
3 Why should we blush thy will to do? Or shrink from following thee? We would the sacred scene renew Of thy humility.
4 Thy blessed promise we would claim, As now we humbly ask That thy sweet grace may in us frame True meekness for our task.Source: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book: for use in divine worship #1109
