Tune: Sussex

(slower tune to \'Father, hear the prayer we offer\')

John 20 v.20-28

********

James and John, desired highest place

Counted selves worthy of grace

Let us sit, Lord, at your left, right

We shall be a glorious sight

 

\'Can you drink my cup?\' \'tis suffering

Jesus asked, did question bring

Yes they said, \'tis enough, we shall

Gain this high place, shall prevail

 

But I cannot promise to you

This high place, though shall ensue

That you shall drink of my cup, though

In accord with Father so

 

For Jesus said, only Father

Knows these places, and rather

You should not seek greatness world\'s way

But be humble, watch and pray

 

For to gain true greatness, need be

That you give in service, see

And minister, loving, caring

Lowliness shall honour bring

 

For the Lord, even He came sure

To minister to us, for

To give His life as a ransom

For many, so [God\'s] kingdom come
