Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love,
show us how to serve
the neighbors we have from you.
1 Kneels at the feet of his friends,
Silently washes their feet,
Master who pours out himself for them. [Refrain]
2 Neighbors are wealthy and poor,
Varied in color and race,
Neighbors are nearby and far away. [Refrain]
3 These are the ones we should serve,
These are the ones we should love:
All these are neighbors to us and you. [Refrain]
4 Kneel at the feet of our friends,
Silently washing their feet:
This is the way we should live with you. [Refrain]

Estribillo:
Jesús, Jesús, enséñanos tú
a amar y servir al prójimo ya aquí.
1 Te arrodillaste a los pies
De tus amigos, Señor;
Se los lavaste en señal de amor. [Estribillo]
2 Pobres y ricos serán,
De toda raza y color,
De todo pueblo y nación también. [Estribillo]
3 Hoy les queremos servir,
Hoy les queremos amar;
somos iguales, Jesús, en ti. [Estribillo]
4 Nuestra rodilla doblar
Y así sus pies lavar,
Es el mandato que Dios nos da. [Estribillo]
