1115. Thou who on the cross didst make

1 Thou who on the cross didst make
Sacrifice complete for me;
Thou who didst for my poor sake
Suffer on the cursed tree;
Thou didst teach submission sweet
Washing thy disciples' feet.

2 O my soul! and shalt thou scorn
Thus to do as He hath done?
Thou a wretched, dying worm:
He the blessed, sinless One!
Gladly would I wash his feet,
Bowing in submission sweet.

3 Such a joy may not be mine,
Thus to prove my love for thee;
Such a privilege divine
Thou hast never given me;
But, in blest submission sweet,
I may wash thy servant's feet.
