1102. In imitation, Lord, of thee

1 In imitation, Lord, of thee,
This solemn service we repeat;
For thine example, full of grace,
Has made this humble duty sweet.

2 Renew each sacred spark of love,
And vitalize the holy flame;
May union strong our hearts unite
While this we do in Jesus' name.

3 Our great Example thou shalt be,
In washing thy disciples' feet;
And as we follow thy command,
Make thou our fellowship complete.
