Submission Sweet

1Thou 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.

2O 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.

3Such 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,
Kneel I at Thy servant's feet.
