Poem Words (three verses)
1.
Love consecrates the humblest act
And haloes mercy’s deeds;
It sheds a benediction sweet
And hallows human needs.
And haloes mercy’s deeds;
It sheds a benediction sweet
And hallows human needs.
2.
When in the shadow of the cross
Christ knelt and washed the feet
Of his disciples, he gave us
A sign of love complete.
Christ knelt and washed the feet
Of his disciples, he gave us
A sign of love complete.
3.
Love serves and willing stoops to serve;
What Christ in love so true
Has freely done for one and all,
Let us now gladly do!
What Christ in love so true
Has freely done for one and all,
Let us now gladly do!
