Yours are the eyes through which

Yours are the feet with which He is
to go about doing good;
Yours are the hands
with which He is to bless others
now.
St. Teresa of Avila

Jesus said “Then the King will say to the people
on his right, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my
Father! Come and possess the kingdom which
has been prepared for you ever since the
creation of the world.’ The righteous will then
answer him, ‘When Lord did we ever see you
hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a
drink? When did we ever see you a stranger,
and welcome you in our homes, or naked and
clothe you? When did we ever see you sick or in
prison, and visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell
you, whenever you did this for one of the least
important of these followers of mine, you did it
for me!’”
(Matthew 25: 34, 37-40)
29. Whatsoever You Do
(Hymn from Alive-06, p. 246)
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,
that you do unto me.
When I was hungry you gave me to eat
When I was thirsty you gave me to drink.
Now enter into the home of your father.
30. Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,
that you do unto me.
When I was weary you helped me find rest.
When I was anxious you calmed all my fears.
Now enter into the home of my Father.
31. Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,
that you do unto me.
When I was aged, you bothered to smile.
When I was restless you listened and cared.
Now enter into the home of my Father.
32. Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,
that you do unto me.
When I was laughed at you stood by my side.
When I was happy you shared in my joy.
Now enter into the home of my Father.
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,
that you do unto me.
