Tune: St Botolph
(\'I come with joy to meet my Lord\')
Based on a prayer by Origen (c.185-254AD)
************
Jesus, my feet they dirty be
Come as servant to me
And pour water into your bowl
Wash my feet, make me whole
In asking such a thing I know
It seems as if I show
Over-boldness, but you did say
To Peter there one day
Said, If I do not wash you, you
Have no place in me true
These words I dread to hear, so I
Accept, to me draw nigh
Wash my feet then, for I long for
Your companionship sure
And teach us to serve as you serve
Though none it we deserve
