(\'Now the green blade riseth\')
John 13 v.1-17 parts
*********
Will we travel, journey, with Christ, in His way?
Time of His Passion approaches, soon the day
But for now alight, share His Last Supper
Meeting in Communion, come, not defer
Before feast of Passover, Jesus did know
His hour was come, and still His love did show
To disciples, He would then wash their feet
As they gathered together, and share in meat* (*food)
Poured water in basin, girded He with towel
Peter said, No, no, my feet you never shall
Wash, but Jesus said, if I wash you not
You shall then have with me no part and no lot
When He had disciples feet washed, He sat down
Showing them and example, that they do that
As he has done to them, lowly, humble
Wash one another\'s feet, give service to all
He our Lord and Master, so He does us serve
Grant us grace to continue, not from Him swerve
Fellowship meal, then death and suffering
On to resurrection, new life He does bring
