Favoured Feet

Tune: O Waly Waly

('An upper room did our Lord prepare')

John 13 v.1-5

********

Now before the feast of Passover

When Jesus knew His hour sure

Had come, that He should to Father go

He loved His own to the end so

 

Supper ended, devil already

Put into Judas' heart, so be

To Jesus betray, but this He knew

Who would this treacherous deed do

 

He knew the Father had given all

Into His hands, obeyed His call

And that He was come from God, and He

Was going back to God, so be

 

He rose from supper, and His garments

He laid aside, and did then hence

Took a towel, and water in bason

Washed the disciples feet, each one

 

Give us grace, Lord, so to serve humbly

For your example do we see

Of service to us, your life you gave

All for to from our sins us save
