Did Christ the great example lead
For all His humble train
In washing the disciples feet
And wiping them again?

And did my Lord and Master say,
If I have washed your feet,
Ye also ought to watch and pray,
And wash each other's feet?

In imitation of my Lord
Whose blood for me 'tis sweet,
I yield unto His sacred word
And wash the pilgrim's feet.

Yea, blessed Jesus, I like them
Would Christians often meet;
The least of all the flock would be,
And wash His children's feet.
