1 In imitation, Lord, of Thee, This solemn service we repeat; For Thine example full of grace, Has made this humble duty sweet. 2 Renew each sacred spark of love, And vitalize the holy flame; May union strong our hearts unite While this we do in Jesus’ name. 3 Our great example Thou shalt be, In washing Thy disciples feet; And as we follow Thy command, Make Thou our fellowship complete.
