Refrain:
Jesu, Jesu,
Fill us with Your love,
Show us how to serve the neighbors we have from You.
1 Kneels at the feet of his friends,
Silently washes their feet,
Master who acts as a slave to them. (Refrain)
2 Neighbors are rich and poor,
Varied in color and race,
Neighbors are near and far away. (Refrain)
3 These are the ones we should serve,
These are the ones we should love;
All are neighbors to us and You. (Refrain)
4 Loving puts us on our knees,
Serving as though we are slaves,
This is the way we should live with You. (Refrain)
5 Kneel at the feet of our friends,
Silently washing their feet,
This is the way we should live with You. (Refrain)
