To shew how humble christians ought
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: John 13:1-15 Lyrics: 1 To shew how humble christians ought
Thus to each other be,
Christ with his own example taught,
As plainly we may see.
2 Though he was Lord and Master Great,
Who giveth all commands;
He wash'd his own disciples feet,
With his own blessed hands.
3 When thus their master with them del't,
And prov'd his love to then;
How must their haughty hearts have felt,
To meet with such esteem.
4 May they who worldly honour seek,
Learn what it is to be--
Like Jesus, humble, truly meek,
From self-applauses free.
5 Such facts as these should have effect,
To bring the haughty low;
The proudest heart should feel a check,
And deeply humbled too.
6 Thus Peter's mind was much impress'd,
He thought himself too mean;
But also felt himself distress'd,
To hear he was unclean.
7 Till thou art wash'd thou hast no part
In me, the Saviour said,
Then Peter cried with all my heart!
Wash thou my hands and head.
8 Did Jesus here by institute,
This, as an ordinance?
That christians e'er should execute
To his rememberence.
9 For many years it was practis'd,
Before our Saviour's day:
Were the Apostles e'er baptiz'd?
In any other way.

Lord, bring the day to pass
Author: Ian Masson Fraser (b. 1917) Meter: 6.6.12.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: John 13:13-17 Lyrics: 1 Lord, bring the day to pass
when forest, rock, and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass,
will know your finished will:
when we attain our destiny
and nature lives in harmony.
2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore, and soil --
the plenty we abuse
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed,
turn us towards each other's need.
3 Help us, when we release
creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace,
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
in servant form, like Christ our King.
4 Creation groans, travails,
futile its present plight,
bound -- till the hour it hails
God's children born of light:
that we may gain our true estate,
come, Lord, new heavens and earth create. Topics: Our Response to God in the stewardship of the earth; Care of Creation; Children; Penitence; Science and Technology Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
Lord, bring the day to pass
When our great Sov'reign from on High
Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: John 13:1 Lyrics: 1 When our great Sov'reign from on High,
Our Lord and Saviour, was aware,
That he his chosen Family,
O'er whom he watch'd with tender Care,
Would be compelled soon to leave;
He fill'd with love and Grief intense,
To them his Farewel Blessing gave,
Before his Suff'rings did commence.
2 Feeling beforehand all the Weight
Of those dire Scenes of Pain and Woe,
Which he well knew did him await,
His Love towards his own to show,
He Water in a Bason pour'd,
And washed his Disciples' Feet,
Their Souls already by his Word,
Save one, were cleansed ev'ry whit.
3 When he this Act of Love had done,
He unto his Disciples said;
"To you I've an Example shown;
"Ye call me Master, Lord, and Head,
"To one another do the same."
This solemn Act to celebrate,
We're now assembled in his Name.
4 Arise then, and with due Respect,
With humble Shame and Willingness,
Do what our Saviour doth direct,
Endowed with Disciple's Grace!
Since Jesus to release from Sin
Unto his People Power gave,
We in his Name are now wash'd clean,
And with our Lord a part may have.
5 Lord Jesus Christ, we pray, be near,
Forgive us all our Trespasses;
With Joy Divine our Spirit cheer,
Absolve and grant us pard'ning Grace!
As our High-priest lift up thy Hand,
That Hand the Nail once pierced through,
Thy Mercy unto us extend,
Rich Blessings upon all bestow.
6 Inspire our Hearts with mutual Love
O may we truly humble be,
Thy faithful Servants ever prove,
Who yield in all Things Joy to Thee:
In due Obedience to thy Word,
We now have wash'd each other's Feet,
Thy blest Example, gracious Lord,
To follow, we find always meet.
7 Sure as thou art the Church's Head,
Sure as we Dust and Ashes are,
So sure we by thy Blood, once shed,
Are now, through Grace, absolv'd and clear;
Sure as thy Cross's Church remains
To the blind World a Spectacle,
So sure in her thy Spirit reigns,
And thou dost in thy Temple dwell.
