 For He will deliver the needy | when he cries,

He will redeem their life from oppression and | violence;

      And precious shall be their blood | in His sight.

Closing Hymn                 Jesu, Jesu                                              

Refrain:  Jesu, Jesu, fill us with Your love; show us how to serve the neighbors We have from You.

Kneels at the feet of His friends, Silently washes their feet, Master who acts as a slave to them.  Refrain.

Neighbors are rich folk and poor; Neighbors are black, brown, and white; Neighbors are nearby and far away.  Refrain.

These are the ones we would serve; These are the ones we would love;  All these are neighbors to us and You.  Refrain.

Loving puts us on our knees, Serving as though we were slaves; That is the way we would live with You.  Refrain.
