Author: Thomas Stevenson Colvin, 1925- Hymnal: Together in Song #640 (1999) Meter: 7.7.9 with refrain Scripture: Mark 12:28-34 First Line: Kneels at the feet of his friends Lyrics: 1 Kneels at the feet of his friends,
silently washes their feet:
master who acts as a slave to them. [Refrain]
[Refrain:
Yesu, Yesu,
fill us with your love,
show us how to serve
the neighbours we have from you.
2 Neighbours are wealthy and poor,
varied in colour and rae,
neighbors are near us and far away. [Refrain]
3 These are the ones we should serve,
these are the ones we should love;
all these are neighbours to us and you. [Refrain]
4 Loving puts us on our knees,
silently washing their feet,
this is the way we should live with you.
