Love Consecrates the Humblest Act
by Rosemary ~ May 11th, 2008Love consecrates the humblest act
And haloes mercy’s deeds;
It sheds a benediction sweet
And hallows human needs.
When in the shadow of the cross
Christ knelt and washed the feet
Of His disciples He gave us
A sign of love complete.
Love serves and willing stoops to serve;
What Christ in love so true
Has freely done for one and all,
Let us now gladly do!
~Silas B. McManus, 1902
A Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who read this blog!

I used to think I knew a lot of hymns but its becoming more clear each Sunday how very many more that I am unfamiliar with! This is one of the unfamiliar ones but I love the words, Rosemary.
