Love Consecrates the Humblest Act

1Love consecrates the humblest act
And hallows mercy's deeds;
It sheds a benediction sweet
And hallows human needs.

2When in the shadow of the cross
Christ knelt and washed the feet
Of His disciples, He gave us
A sign of love complete.

3Love serves and will-ing stoops to serve;
What Christ in love so true
Has freely done for one and all,
Let us now gladly do!
