Let us here confess you, till in heaven we bless you. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Used With Tune: GOTTES SOHN IST KOMMEN Text Sources: The Bohemian Brethren (1544)

When all were washed, he stood to ask that they repeat this humble task. 4 “If I have done this unto you, you ought to serve each other, too. And if my servants you would be, obey my word and follow me.” Scripture: John 13:1-30 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM OLD Text Sources: A Selection of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs (Mennonite, USA), 1847, alt.

Refrain: There is a package for me on that tree; A precious token that someone loves me. Oh yes, I can see on Calvary's Tree, That there is a package for me. 2 There is one I behold in letters of gold, It hangs on a limb near to, limb near to me. 'Tis labeled "salvation," and Jesus, I'm told, Has bought that package for me. [Refrain] 3 There is one just above, it's title is love, It is marked by a deep crimson, deep crimson stain. For there it was tied by the Lord when he died, And glory to his dear name. [Refrain] 4 Another I see, it must be for me, The words "I will help you" I, "help you" I read. While holding his hand, by faith I can stand, And this is the package I need. [Refrain] 5 There are many, I'm sure, but just this one more I speak of above all the, bove all the rest. It spells "happy home" with God near the throne, A place where the weary shall rest. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HEAVEN'S CHRISTMAS TREE
