1106. We ask not for the world's applause

1 We ask not for the world's applause,
Nor ask if they consent;
For Jesus' word upholds our cause,
With that we'll rest content.

2 Our Lord and Saviour says "we ought"
To wash each other's feet;
We will not set aside as naught
Instruction so complete.

3 Then praise to Jesus for his word;
We'll show his love to each
Of our dear brethren in the Lord,
And practice as we preach.
