Supper Scene

orchidee



Tune: St Botolph

('I come with joy, a child of God')

John 13 v.1-17 parts

*********

At Last Supper we gather round

Where you Jesus are found

With your disciples, washed their feet

Loved to the end complete

 

They had shared with you wine and bread

By you they watered, fed

You set to do your Father's will

It was the cross-way still

 

But you by humble tasks did serve

None of which we deserve

You our Lord and Master showed there

Your example did share

 

That we as your servants should too

Wash others feet anew

In deeds and words simple and plain

Sincerely and unfeign

 

It a living memorial

You died to save us all

And rose again, forgiven we

Eternal life have free

      Thanks N. Oh dear, a hymn goes '[We are] Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs'. So we're gonna go hungry. But He invites us, and to more than crumbs. Phew!

        Lovely poem. As Jesus washed the feet of others, so to can we be open in the service of others who need our help.

          Thanks Bella. Aww, it was cancelled - the foot-washing part. Still covid concerns, I suppose.
