Hymn 295A - He Washed His Servants’ Feet

2010 VERSION
Disrobed of all His heav’nly dress,
The Saviour came to earth;
Clothed in a veil of mortal flesh,
And bowed His head in death.
That awful night in which betrayed,
He introduced the feast,
Which we, my friends, have seen displayed,
Where each has been a guest.
The solemn scene about to close,
To make the whole complete,
He meekly from communion rose
And washed His servants’ feet.
“To each,” He said, “let others do
As I, your Lord, have done:
The heav’nly pattern still pursue,
In form as I have shown.”
(REFRAIN)
He gave us this example,
That we His will complete
By following His teaching
To wash each other’s feet.

Where each has been a guest.

And washed His servants' feet.
"To each," He said, "you also do
As I, your Lord, have done."
The heav'nly pattern we pursue,
In form as He has shown.

He gave us this example then,
That we His will complete,
By_this we have a_part with Him;
His_word we shall o_bey.
