397   An Upper Room




[1]
An upper room did our Lord prepare
For those loved until the end:
And His disciples 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 uttermost:
In every room in our Father s house
He will be there as Lord and host.
