397 - An Upper Room

An upper room did our Lord prepare
For those He loved until the end:
And His dicsiples still gather there,
To celebrate their risen Friend.
2
And after supper He washed their feet,
For service too, is sacrament.
In Him our joy shall be made complete
Sent out to serve, as He was sent.
3
A lasting gift Jesus gave His own:
To share His bread, His loving cup.
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
He by His cross shall lift us up.
4
No end there is! we depart in peace.
He loves beyond our utter most:
In every room in our Father’s house,
He will be there, as Lord and host.
