Love Consecrates the Humblest Act

Love consecrates the humblest act

And haloes mercy’s deeds;

It sheds a benediction sweet

And hallows human needs.

When in the shadow of the cross

Christ knelt and washed the feet

Of His disciples, He gave us

A sign of love complete.

Love serves and willing, stoops to serve;

What Christ in love so true

Has freely done for one and all,

Let us now gladly do!
