Do You Understand

This is a song by Stephen Kirk for Holy Thursday. It is another lovely song, but your cantor will need a fair old range to cope, especially in the third stanza. The assembly should be fine singing the refrain.

You will find the sheet music under “Resources” at his website.

Refrain

Do you understand what I’ve done to you?

Do you understand what I’ve done to you?

1 You call me master and Lord, and rightly; so I am.

If I then, The Lord and Master have washed your feet,

You should wash each others.

Refrain

2 I give you a new command, that you love one another

As I have loved you; By this everyone will know

You are my disciples.

Refrain

3 At the moment you don’t know what I’m doing,

But later you will understand.

I have given you and example so you may do as I have done.

Refrain

Will you do to all as I’ve done to you?

Will you do to all as I’ve done to you?
