And taught his people here the same;
Who an example set, that they,
All his precepts might obey.

Verse 1

When Jesus Christ was here below,
He taught his people what to do:
And if we would his precepts keep,
We must attend to washing feet.
For on that night he was betray'd,
He for us all a pattern laid—
Soon as his supper he did eat,
He rose and wash'd his brethren's feet.

He rose and wash'd his brethren's feet.

Verse 2

The Lord who made the earth and sky,
Arose and laid his garments by,
And wash'd their feet to show that we,
Like Christ, should always humble be.
He wash'd them all, tho' all were clean,
Save Judas, who was full of sin.
May none of us, like Judas, sell
Our Lord for gold, and go to hell.

Verse 3

The Lord who made the earth and sky,
Arose and laid his garments by,
And wash'd their feet to show that we,
Like Christ, should always humble be.

All my commands and sayings keep,
And show your love by washing feet

Ye shall be happy, if ye know
And do these things, by faith below;

If in humility complete,
Salute the saints and wash their feet.
