Who would be great­est among you,
Let him be ser­vant of all;
This is the Sav­ior’s com­mand­ment,
This is the Spir­it’s sweet call.
Unto the true and the faith­ful,
Soundeth this cla­ri­on call:
Who would be great­est among you,
Let him be ser­vant of all.

Who would be great­est among you,
Let him be ser­vant of all;
Drink of the cup of My sor­row,
Taste of earth’s worm­wood and gall.
Deep are Geth­se­ma­ne’s sha­dows,
Yonder the cross, grim and tall:
Who would be great­est among you,
Let him be ser­vant of all.

Who would be great­est among you,
What shall the pro­fit then be,
Gaining the world, if thou los­est
Life thro’ eter­ni­ty?
Voices of plea­sure and call­ing
Unto the ban­quet­ing hall,
Who would be great­est among you,
Let him be ser­vant of all.

Who would be great­est among you,
Mother of Ze­be­dee’s sons,
Seats of the king­dom are giv­en
Him who in low­li­ness comes.
Thrones on My right and My left hand
Only to he­roes shall fall:
Those who ob­ey My com­mand­ments,
These are the great­est of all.
