[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,
neighbors are black and white,
neighbors are near and far away. (Refrain)
3 These are the ones we should serve,
these are the ones we should love,
all these 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)
