D.68 The Lord Jesus

Chorus:
The Lord Jesus, after eating with his friends,
Washed their feet and said to them:
“Do you know, what I, your Lord,
have done to you?
I have given you example
That so you also should do”.

You are my friends:
No one can have a greater love
Than to give one’s life for one’s friends.

Peace I leave with you.
My peace I give to all who live
With sincere love for all mankind.

I am the vine
and you, the branch: remain in me
And you will bear abundant fruit.

You who come to me
Will never thirst nor want for food
And I will raise you up on the last day.
