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!
