Feet-washing a church ordinance.

IN Jesus' name once more we meet, To honor him who said: Ye ought to wash each other's feet, As I the way have led.

Then come, like loving brethren, bound, To tread the paths he trod Come, do his will, and walk the ground, Which leads to heav'n and God.

With words of love, sublime and sweet, He cheer'd each fainting heart; And washed, and wiped those lov'd ones feet, From whom he soon must part.

O Lord, we will remember thee, And keep this plain command; Oh, may our hearts obedient be, In one united hand.
