Knowing His hour had
come, before the feast,
Christ loved His own
with love that would not cease;
He was for them a
friend and paraclete.
Conscious the Father
appraised Him and was pleased
He rose to wash the
twelve disciples feet.
How wonderful the
glory of the scene
The Lord of glory
serving upon His knees.
If Peter jibbed His
Master could reveal
The glorious thought
each could have "part with Me"
While He regarded
Peter as "wholly clean".
What He had done
was more than one could speak:
Great love alone
educed this means to teach.
