To wash the whole earth clean
From sinful men now kneels, towel-wrapped,
Head bowed to wash their feet
That first deluge he sent had showed
The penalty for sin
This second brings its remedy
By cleansing from within
For as his laver washes skin
His word has cleansed their souls;
The blood he soon will shed shall then
Atone for them in whole.
A blessed Maundy Thursday to all.
