('Jesus the very thought of Thee')

Based on John 13 v.1 - 15

*********

An upper room disciples made

All items set and laid

For Jesus with them then to share

In fine communion fare

During supper, Jesus arose

All things sure there He knows

Knowing now had come His hour

Yet still He showed God's power

His love, His care, compassion true

Will serve both me and you

As He did love, and loves us still

Fulfilling Father's will

So He arose, disciples feet

He would wash, that was meet

In service as their Lord, Master

Grace on them did confer

In humble deeds, example set

He gently their needs met

Nor taken up with over-care

Of load He chose to bear

Chose to bear for our sakes, that we

Redeemed by Him may be

He would love all unto the end

Then death's strongholds did rend

Risen from tomb on Easter morn

Bright beams, salvation's dawn

He died once, now to die no more

Now lives for evermore
